EDITORS COMMENTS
Carroll Island, located off the coast of Washington State in the United States, was once home to a large and thriving colony of Common Murres, also known as Common Guillemots. This historic photograph, estimated to have been taken around 1907, captures the beauty and abundance of this remarkable bird community. Common Murres are unique in their ability to live both at sea and on land. They spend most of their lives at sea, diving for food, but return to land to breed and raise their young. Carroll Island provided an ideal nesting site for these birds, with its rocky shores and abundant food sources. The photograph shows the Common Murres in various stages of nesting, with some birds tending to their young chicks while others are out at sea hunting for food. The nests, made of pebbles and seaweed, can be seen scattered along the rocky shoreline. This image offers a glimpse into the history of avian life in the Pacific Northwest and highlights the importance of preserving habitats for these fascinating birds. Common Murres are still found along the coasts of the North Atlantic and North Pacific Oceans, but their populations have been declining due to factors such as climate change, oil spills, and overfishing. The photograph serves as a reminder of the natural wonders that once existed in this part of the world and the importance of protecting and preserving the habitats of these remarkable birds for future generations to enjoy. Carroll Island, with its rich history and unique bird community, remains an important part of the natural history of Washington State and the United States as a whole.
