Meet Bubba the base bird or more accurately Clem’s bird. Bubba follows Clem around like a dog it is really cute to watch he comes back each season and is 28 years old. You can read about skuas here. At the moment they are nesting so are more agressive than usual so when we are on the islands or walking around the point it is best to have a stick to fend them off. There is a melt pond at Anchorage which about 100 live around and wash in in the sun. I have video of both Bubba and the other skuas to show people when I get back.
