Sorry, I looked it up after I took the picture, but do not remember.  Maybe someone with more expertise can chime in.

 

No problem. Do you know where it is from?

Australian Pelican

During a port stop at Puntarenas Costa Rica, there were some interesting birds around.  I recognize the friget and pelican, but I don't know what the red bird is.  Seems very friendly toward touists thought.

Love this great collection, scubacruiserx2!

 

Here's a hooded merganser mom and chicks in Haines, Alaska last year.

And a black oystercatcher and tufted puffin in Sitka, AK.

Thanks John and thank you for sharing these photos and ports . When we were in Alaska we had to miss Sitka and didn't get to Haines . Also , we didn't see any of these birds but we would love to see a puffin in person .  

[JohnGinPBG]

Here's another from Sitka - I forget the name.

 

Next year, we're going on a birder's dream cruise on a small ship from Dublin toIceland, stopping on many incredible bird-only Scottish islands along the way including Lunga and St. Kilda. Can't wait!

JohnGinPBG - Do you have a link to a site for the cruise you are taking?  That kind of trip would definitely be on my bucket list.
