Rookery

This is one of the many glacier waterfalls we saw on our cruise in Prince William Sound. This one can be seen from the town of Whittier, and is one of the huge waterfalls you will see here. Again, this is a hand-held HDR shot taken from the boat. All the little white specks around the waterfall that you see are birds, hundreds of kittiwakes. This is a major kittiwake rookery, and thus, is one of the stops the cruise ship makes. They take you pretty close to the falls, and I tried to get some close-up shots of the birds with the falls in the background as well. See below for one of my better ones.
