Description:
"Manx shearwaters summer on tiny Great Blasket Island off the west
coast of Ireland. These birds make heroic migrations every year to
South American. When they nest, they build burrows in the sand and
dirt instead of traditional nests. Wildlife recordist Asta Bowen
caught the birds coming home to their burrows during the night."

Cornell recordist Bowen says "This is the most exciting moment of my
life" or words to that effect!
