The Salish Sea Guillemot Network is a collection of volunteers and scientists from non-profits, agencies, and more to monitor and learn more about Pigeon Guillemots in the Salish Sea.  This indicator species helps these dedicated folks to understand about what is happening in this ecosystem. 

Maria Mudd Ruth's recent book, The Bird with Flaming Red Feet, highlights this effort.

Adventure begins at: 10:07 

*correction: Hannah refers to Pigeon Guillemots as a "keystone species" in her song at the beginning when they should be referred to as an "indicator species".
