Smooth seas do not make skilful sailors.
Think it doesn't realize that it's a still long way to go to become an adult, ☺ .
Cute and very good one, Richie!

Nature in all her glory is my uplift on life and so is my love of photography. sandi ♪ ♫
A favorite, this little creature, such a perfect capture. The background is unique and highly complimentary, details, colors, light. Wish he was in my backyard!

No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.
A lovely little seabird chick in its salty environment. Well captured indeed.
I am calling him little Billy (Guillaume= William in France)

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
Such a little cutie and still very fluffy, he doesn't look to happy at that moment. Superb capture

I hadn't heard of this bird before so I did a little research:
"A Black-and-White bird of the northern seas, the Black Guillemot breeds along the coasts of Canada and Greenland. Unlike other members of the puffin family, it prefers to forage in relatively shallow near-shore waters. The Black Guillemot carries fish crosswise in its bill. Some adults seem to show a preference for the direction in which the fish heads point; this "handedness" may be related to the selection of foraging sites. The Black Guillemot can stay underwater for up to 2 minutes and 20 seconds. In the high Arctic, where food is more concentrated, some colonies of the Guillemot have 2,000-10,000 pairs. The oldest Black Guillemot recorded was over 27 years old when it was recaptured and rereleased during banding operations in Alaska."
