Seabirds—whether gulls, terns, or shearwaters—are masterful ocean dwellers, perfectly adapted to life along the coast. Many species are migratory, traveling thousands of miles between breeding and wintering grounds, guided by instinct and the abundance of fish that follow ocean currents and wave action. The birds depicted here in silhouette against the sky capture a moment these creatures live constantly: riding wind currents, scanning for food, and navigating the dynamic boundary between sea and air where they thrive.
