Nice capture Tim. I've only seen them once, up in Cutler Harbor, Maine.

Tim,
Everything about this image is so cool. The light is truly magic as the plumage on these birds really pops and contrasts so nicely with reds. Add in the unique behavior... so many would count themselves lucky to photograph a single guillemot in great light, but to capture a menage a trois... you are a skilled guy!

regards,
bruce


Bruce you are too kind!! Like I said I this is the shot I have been trying for many years, this burst, and so early in the shoot, really is special to me. Thanks so much!!

Terrific image of this menage a trois, Tim, and what an amazing and unusual behavior.

I looked for more info online, but the only thing I could find was your post from last year!
(https://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/topic/1122486)

In fact, I appreciate the current image more in the context of your series from last year. Much better light (fantastic, really) this year, and the composition and pose of this shot is superb. But I loved the humor from last year's set ("Get out of here you perv!") and encourage others to revisit that wonderful post as well.

Look forward to seeing a bit more from that 200
...Show more

Too funny that you researched this and found me and a lesser quality shot at that!

Yes Greg, this is odd behavior, I do think now that I have some nice shots of it I will research it a lot more heavily myself. In the matter of a few hours I saw this happen 3 times out of 4 mountings, a damn high percentage.

Thank you my friend, more interesting birds to come!

Isn't the one in the middle a decoy

I couldn't be happier that you got your shot, wow 4 years in the making too, what a great reward Tim and it is simply fantastic from many standpoints. Yes indeed the light was good to you, very good in fact. I look forward to seeing this on the big screen later tonight buddy, well done and well deserved!

Oh, and about those other 200gb's of shots, just flip them to Conrad and he will whip them into one BIG post

Karl


Heck Karl, they are all fake, you busted me

I think you're lucky I'm not CT or you would see all of them in one post Thanks for the good words Karl. You KNOW how special that morning was to me

Yes, the one in the middle certainly isn't too happy about the whole episode

Thanks!

I think they call this a menage a twa. Great shot with beautiful exposure and detail. Nice BG and great HAs by all three.

Clearly that last bird hasn't yet figured out that "three's a crowd."

Terrific shot, Tim. Behavior shots always seem to be so much more interesting than a portrait, and this one certainly is interesting.

Geez Dave, you are the third David in a row, coincidence

I agree with your thoughts, thank you for them
