About These Birds

Horned Puffin

Horned Puffin, 36–41 cm, breeds on rocky cliffs and talus slopes of Alaska and the Russian Far East. White face, massive orange-red bill, fleshy dark 'horn' above eye — striking in breeding plumage. Piscivore; dives for capelin, sand lance, and herring. Pelagic in winter across the North Pacific.

Ancient Murrelet

Ancient Murrelet, 24–27 cm, breeds in burrows on North Pacific islands from British Columbia to Japan. Black hood, grey back, white underparts with yellow bill. Nocturnal at colonies to avoid predators. Chicks lead-march to sea within days of hatching — abandoning the nest very early. Planktivore and piscivore.
