About These Birds
Long-billed Murrelet
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.
Spectacled Guillemot
Mérgulo de Brünnich (Cepphus carbo), 34–38 cm. Plumaje nupcial negro uniforme; en invierno, partes inferiores blancas. Habita en costas rocosas del noroeste del Pacífico (Japón, Corea, este de Rusia). Anida en grietas de acantilados y se alimenta de peces y crustáceos buceando.
