This Rhinoceros Auklet will fill its mouth with as many sand lance as it can to bring back to its nest. From birds to salmon, to killer whales, and humans, we all depend on small forage fish like these and the habitat that sustains them—culturally, economically, and intrinsically! And they depend on us as stewards of this special place.
