Whiskered Auklet, 18–22 cm, breeds on the Aleutian and Kuril Islands in colonies in crevices. Three white facial plumes give the 'whiskered' appearance; forward-curving black crest. Smallest crested auklet. Planktivore; forages in fast tidal currents feeding on euphausiids. Year-round resident near breeding islands.
