I organized cruising boat in Tomakomai at 20th February.
As soon as the cruise started, a Spectacled Guillemot appeared.
I felt it was good omen, but good birds didn't appeared around this sea area. So I was forward to off shore.
I found a sea area where a numbers of Least Auklets were staying, I counted in total about 50 individuals in this area, but they were too shy flying away at far distance to take photo. I tried to approach them, as a result, I got closer enough to observe.
I think Laysan Albatross is a summer visitor in this sea area, but some of them are staying in this season.
Tomakomai, Hokkaido. 20th/Feb/2011.
