What an incredible image of an incredible unnatural act of nature.
The bottom guillemot knows exactly what's happening to her- and her's is a happy squawk.
The top guillemot thinks he's having sex and he's letting go with a happy squawk.
The middle guy, though... is not sure what the hell is going on. But whatever it is, he's keeping his mouth shut about it.

Super thanks Charlie!! I thought somebody with your background may find this interesting. Take that comment as you like

Great image, and certainly interesting behavior...Middle guy has that, "Hey buddy, I'm not that kind of bird," look to him. Looking forward to some of your other shots from the trip.

Technically excellent Tim. And in great light too. And what you captured makes this a WOW shot. The middle bird does seem to have a surprised look on his face.
The top bird seems to have a longer bill. Do you have any ideas why? ~ Ron
Thanks Ron! I think the bills are probably close to the same, it must be the angle that makes them looks strange

What will you do all summer except process pictures!? An excellent image all round Tim. Even a single bird with that light and BG would be stellar. Really looking forward to more, to to other species you've photographed.

You're setting the bar pretty high for the rest of the 200GB.
Incredible image Tim... light is really sweet, unique behavior by rarely seen birds on the forum, love the greens on the ground and in the BG.
1/800 blurred the wings nicely and your composition is perfect.
Four years in the making makes the reward of this image very special Tim... congratulations!
Excellent work.

Put your best foot forward Kirk Maybe you're right what will I follow this up with
Yes after so many frustrating trips FINALLY getting the light and action I did that morning made it a most memorable morning indeed. Thanks buddy!!
