Red-legged Kittiwakes Copulating

Christopher Dodds February 15, 2020

The Red-legged Kittiwake (Rissa brevirostris) is a seabird species in the gull family Laridae. It breeds in the Pribilof Islands, Bogoslof Island, and Buldir Island in the Bering Sea off the coast of Alaska, and the Commander Islands, Russia and spends the winter at sea. This species is listed as "Vulnerable" by the IUCN as its population appears to be in decline.


It is always a highlight of my Saint Paul Island Photo Tour to hike up to the high bluffs on a windy afternoon to watch and photograph some of the only accessible Red-legged Kittiwakes in the world.
