Seabirds and Shorebirds

Small birds are called kingfishers and i have seen others that are the brown pelican etc depending on where you live....others are typical seagulls

Albatrosses are endangered due to the high rate of by-catch (accidental catch by commercial fishermen) particularly with longline fishing gear in which by-catch rates can be as high as 1 bird per 10 hooks. This combined with their long life and slow maturity leads to 19 out of the 21 species being listed as endangered

Seagulls belong to the family Laridae.

There are no Antarctic puffins -- puffins live in the Arctic.

Accidentally consuming small quantities of clean seawater is not harmful, especially if the seawater is consumed along with a larger quantity of fresh water. However, consuming seawater to maintain hydration in the long run is counterproductive. In the long run, more water must be expended to eliminate the seawater's salt from the bloodstream (through excretion in urine) than the amount of water that is gained from drinking the seawater itself.

This occurs because the amount of sodium chloride in human blood is actively regulated within a very narrow range of 9 g/L (0.9% by weight) by the kidney. Drinking seawater (which contains about 3.5% ions of dissolved sodium chloride) temporarily increases the concentration of sodium chloride in the blood. This in turn promotes sodium excretion by the kidney, but the sodium concentration of seawater is above the maximum concentrating ability of the human kidney. Eventually with further seawater intake the blood concentration of sodium will rise to toxic levels, removing water from all cells and interfering with nerve conduction ultimately giving seizures and heart arrhythmias which become fatal.

Survival manuals consistently advise against drinking seawater. For example, the book "Medical Aspects of Harsh Environments" (Chapter 29 - Shipboard Medicine) presents a summary of 163 life raft voyages. The risk of death was 39% for those who drank seawater, compared to only 3% for those who did not drink seawater.

Although it is clear that a human cannot survive on seawater alone, some people claim that one can drink up to two cups a day, mixed with fresh water in a 2:3 ratio, without ill effect. The French physician Alain Bombard claimed to have survived an ocean crossing in a small raft using only seawater and other provisions harvested from the ocean, but the veracity of his findings was challenged. In Kon-Tiki, Thor Heyerdahl reported drinking seawater mixed with fresh in a 40/60% ratio. A few years later another adventurer named William Willis claimed to have drunk two cups of seawater and one cup of fresh per day for 70 days without ill effect when he lost his part of his water supply.

A mallard is not a wading bird, like a heron or stork. A mallard is a duck and considered to be a waterfowl.

Yes Puffins are found in the bay of fundy. There is actually a site that you can take a boat to and watch them for hours if you really wanted too. The other day i actually watched a video and there are many species of birds found there including Razorbills. Submitted by Matthew Murphy.

there are a third of puffins left, they were last recorded on 2004 and they have declined by a third since.

Ospreys

I have read this story today in my English class! They are alike because the woman or the man in the car, in the story, says that cranes are going extinct and also that the kids now a days are a new different generation and their old generation is going to go away. Just like the cranes.

They eat sea fish and fish.

It's called "billing" and they do it to strengthen their bond as a pair.

They look for fish and other sea animals. To soar like this, they spread out their wings like a glider.

The short-tailed Albatross finds food on two islands: Torishima and Minami-kojima in the Senkaku Islands. They travel during non-breeding season across the North Pacific, with the males and juveniles in the Bering Sea and the females off Japan and eastern Russia's coast. They feed mainly on squid. They will also follow ships for their discarded offals. Offal is the culinary term for entrails and internal organs that does not include muscles or bones.

You can find cleaning tools at mostly any local store, like a walmart or Target. Or buy one online, maybe from ebay, of craigslist, or amazon might even have one.

An albatross in golf refers to a score that is three strokes under par on a single hole. This typically occurs on par-five holes, where a player completes the hole in two strokes. It is a rare achievement and is considered one of the best scores a golfer can make on a hole.

Seagulls typically fly out to sea for food, and their distance can vary widely depending on the species and availability of resources. Generally, they may venture several miles offshore, but many stay within a few hundred yards of the coastline. Some species, like the Western gull, are known to fly up to 20 miles out in search of food. However, they usually return to land for nesting and resting.
