An aerial photograph of a single seabird with pale wings gliding over dark blue ocean water. The surface is streaked with white foam that forms intricate shapes resembling the outlines of continents on a map, creating the illusion of the bird flying over a miniature world.

Photo au format paysage d'une mouette rieuse (plumage blanc sur la tête et le ventre, ailes grises, queue noire, bec et pattes rouges, une tache noire vers l'oreille) de profil faisant face au côté droit de l'image. Elle se tient les pieds dans l'eau, on voit un bout de rive sableuse sur le bord gauche de l'image. L'eau est striée de fines vagues et renvoie le reflet trouble de l'oiseau. La lumière vient de la droite.

In late summer, young Elegant Terns (Thalasseus elegans) trail their parents on fishing trips, quietly following until a fish is caught—then breaking into loud begging calls. They often drop to the water’s surface to receive their meal before taking off again. Along the California coast, this parent-chick routine can continue well into November.

The Mediterranean subspecies of the European Shag can often be seen from the beach at Port de Pollenca, #Mallorca

Enjoy (or don't) a video of them.

It's still hot and beachy here in Florida!
So far no hurricanes!

We get beautiful white egrets at the beach here and also on the farm. With all of the rain, they sit in the ditches which are filled with water waiting for frogs. I love to see them!

A detailed, eye-level shot of a grey heron standing on a thick bed of brown and green seaweed, partially submerged in blue water. The heron, facing right with its head slightly turned, has a long neck, a grey body, and fine white feathers on its chest and neck. Its long, pointed beak is orange. The water around the seaweed is dark blue, with ripples visible.

Puffins!

I got up extra early this morning to take advantage of the very calm waters to see puffins!

I have lots of pictures, but will need a bit of time to get through them all.

How do cross-system subsidies shape the functioning of recipient #ecosystems? Sterling Tebbett & Scott Ling explore a @PLOSBiology study revealing that #seabird -derived nutrients fuel primary producers on #CoralReefs, enhancing herbivore productivity. Paper: https://plos.io/44RFyJk Primer: https://plos.io/4lDpvo6

Cross-system connections can mediate the functioning of coral reefs via bottom-up control of productivity flowing through herbivorous trophic pathways. (a) Highly productive turf communities represent major primary producers on coral reefs (photograph: SB Tebbett). (b) Herbivorous fishes such as the turf cropping surgeonfish, Acanthurus lineatus, rely on the primary production of turfs to meet their nutritional needs (photograph: SB Tebbett). (c) A conceptual overview of the results of a new study in PLOS Biology by Benkwitt and colleagues [2] which quantified key ecosystem functions and demonstrated that seabird-derived nutrient supply can underpin strong cross-system connections between island ecosystems and adjacent coral reefs. Benkwitt and colleagues revealed that higher inputs of seabird nutrients fueled turf growth and indirectly enhanced the productivity of herbivorous fishes. (d) An alternative scenario where terrestrial sediment inputs underpin strong cross-system connections. However, in this case, sediments can limit turf growth and constrain herbivorous fish productivity [1,9]. These different scenarios underscore the importance of using a functional approach to quantify the strength of cross-system connections if we are to comprehensively understand how changing environmental conditions can have flow-on consequences for recipient ecosystems.

Cross-ecosystem nutrient fluxes can influence recipient food webs. This study of #NutrientSubsidies shows that dynamic metrics better revealed flow & effects of #seabird derived nutrients through #CoralReef food chains @PLOSBiology https://plos.io/44RFyJk
