​Welcome to the Salish Sea Guillemot Network
We are a community science project dedicated to the research, education and protection of the Pigeon Guillemot in the Salish Sea in northwest Washington State.  We monitor Pigeon Guillemots that gather into colonies to breed in our seaside bluffs. These entertaining and endearing black and white seabirds with fire-engine-red feet symbolize healthy coastal waters.
June Update Guillemot Appreciation Days is postponed Till 2021. Never fear, there're still ways to stay engaged and appreciate our favorite birds. Learn more here.
