How to prepare a common murre (Uria aalge)

This is the bird I study.

AHHHH!

In other news, I rode on an ATV for the first time yesterday! I climbed on behind Talon (that is really his name), the best friend of the boyfriend of Lanaya (whom I met not even 2 weeks ago). "Lean where I do. Oh, and hold on tight." Turns out he was the crazy driver -- Lanaya's boyf Danny just rolled along, Talon was trying to scare the shit out of me. Speeding up and down, short stops, sharp turns, hiding in the bushes to ambush Danny... I thought I was going to die at first, but then it was just pure FUN. (Although I still wasn't sure if I would survive the trip.)

Nothing like trusting my life to someone I barely know in a really blatant way.
