About These Birds

Atlantic Puffin

대서양퍼핀은 '바다의 광대'라 불리는 매력적인 바닷새로, 북부 해식애의 굴에 둥지를 틉니다. 입천장의 뒤를 향한 가시 덕분에 한 번에 12마리의 물고기를 부리에 횡으로 물 수 있습니다. 기후 변화와 남획이 먹이 공급을 위협하면서 개체수가 감소하고 있습니다.

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.
