Additional Information
Audobon and HX Destinations
Alaska
Tufted Puffin | Fratercula cirrhata
With its vivid orange bill, sleek black body, and signature yellow head plumes, the Tufted Puffin is one of Alaska’s most striking seabirds. These bold, charismatic birds nest in burrows along remote coastal cliffs and islands, where they gather in lively colonies during the summer breeding season. Tufted Puffins spend most of their lives on the open ocean and return to land only to raise their young. On your Alaska adventure, you’ll likely see Ancient Murrelet’s, Crested Auklet’s, Red-legged Kittiwakes, and other unforgettable seabirds.
Antarctica
Wandering Albatross | Diomedea exulans
With the longest wingspan of any living bird at over 11 feet, the Snowy Albatross is on every serious and not-so-serious birder’s list. Antarctica is home to 73 species of birds, including albatrosses, shearwaters, petrels, cormorants, skuas, gulls, terns, and of course, penguins. The best time to see chicks? Late January through the end of February.
Galápagos Islands
Galápagos Penguin | Spheniscus mendiculus
The Galapagos Penguin, found mostly on Fernandina and Isabela Islands, is one of several species of sea birds in the Galápagos archipelago, along with Blue-footed Boobies, Red-footed Boobies, Nazca Boobies, Frigatebirds, flamingos, and cormorants. For land birds, your spotting list includes the mockingbird, short-eared owl, Galapagos hawk, Galapagos dove, and 17 species of Darwin's finches.
