About These Birds

Ancient Murrelet

Ancient Murrelet, 24–27 cm, breeds in burrows on North Pacific islands from British Columbia to Japan. Black hood, grey back, white underparts with yellow bill. Nocturnal at colonies to avoid predators. Chicks lead-march to sea within days of hatching — abandoning the nest very early. Planktivore and piscivore.

Craveri's Murrelet

Craveri's Murrelet, 21–23 cm, breeds on Gulf of California islands, dispersing into the Pacific after breeding. Darkest Synthliboramphus murrelet; less white on face than Scripps's. Near Threatened; small population threatened by introduced predators on nesting islands and bycatch in gill nets.
