"Paddling my canoe around Salt Spring Island, I often see marbled murrelets bobbing
and diving for small fish. Only recently have researchers discovered that these birds
actually nest on the pads of moss growing on the high branches of ancient trees in
British Columbia’s old-growth forests, evidence of the interdependence of species
and of the importance of virgin forests in ensuring biodiversity. These tiny relatives
of the auks and puffins - almost always seen in pairs - look so unlikely riding
the sea swells; I always imagine they will simply get swallowed up in the
vastness of the ocean." - Robert Bateman
