Our seabirds' social behaviors also help set them apart. In the wild, common murres form dense colonies to stop their eggs from rolling off the steep cliffs where they breed. These black-and-white beauties often huddle together on exhibit, while puffins tend to be more solitary.

Tufted puffins are called “parrots of the sea” for their famously flashy breeding season colors. But when there’s no pressure to show off for potential mates, they dress down for winter in more understated black feathers. 🖤

But what is COP30? It is a yearly summit where countries come together to talk about climate change. And today, the ocean is on the agenda. In the absence of U.S. representation, individual states like California, as well as U.S.-based organizations working on climate change, are taking a stand.
