The Case of the Pigeon Guillemot


This is a Pigeon Guillemot in breeding plumage, calling to its mate.  It's interesting to see that the mouth is the same brilliant color of red as its feet and legs.  We often see Pigeon Guillemots from our living room.  One time we pointed them out to friends and they thought we were pulling their leg – they didn't really think there was a bird called a guillemot (from the French for William).
