Hornøya, Norway

When birds of prey are observed around the bird cliff at Hornøya, most of the auks promptly abandon their nesting grounds, flying out to the open sea and counting on the safety of being in a larger flock.

But not this one bridled common murre. While all of the neighbors fled the white-tailed eagle, this individual decided to proudly fly back to the cliff with a meal in the beak. Maybe supplying their partner on the nest with an emergency snack?
