Acerca de
Long-billed Murrelet, 26–28 cm, breeds remarkably far inland in old-growth forests of Siberia, nesting directly on mossy tree branches — no burrow. Sea-going for the rest of the year, wintering off eastern Asian coasts. Piscivore; dives for small fish. Near Threatened; nesting ecology unusual for alcids.
