The Flaming Feet Bird You Missed

This summer, don’t overlook the pigeon guillemot—the seabird with fiery red feet, legs, and beak—nesting right near shore. Author Maria Mudd Ruth reveals how these overlooked birds are vital indicators of Puget Sound’s health. Spot them at Bainbridge Island, Ballard Locks, or Alki Beach, especially at high tide in the morning. Join the Salish Sea Guillemot Network as a volunteer; even beginners can help track populations and witness their playful antics. Your observations might just spark a deeper love for the hidden wonders of the coastal ecosystem. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
