The weather near Valley Of Fire State Park has been great for processing images (mostly clear with lots of sunshine for the solar-electric panels), and here's one from Iceland this past July. Northern Fulmars, also known as Arctic Fulmars, are similar to gulls but their nostrils are on top of their bill. This pair is courting on a cliff-side ledge on the Snæfellsnes Peninsula.
