About These Birds
Great Auk
Great Auk was the Northern Hemisphere's giant flightless auk, 75–85 cm, hunted to extinction in 1844. The last pair was killed on Eldey Island, Iceland. Black above, white below with a white oval eye patch; vestigial wings. Spent most of its life at sea; bred colonially on Atlantic islands and rocks.
Guadalupe Murrelet
Guadalupe Murrelet, 22–24 cm, breeds only on Guadalupe Island off Baja California. Very similar to Scripps's Murrelet but with more extensive white on the face. Critically Endangered; fewer than 1,000 individuals; nesting habitat threatened by feral cats and goats (now being controlled). Piscivore.
