About These Birds
Parakeet Auklet
Parakeet Auklet, 23–25 cm, breeds on rocky islands and cliffs of the Bering Sea and North Pacific. Upturned bright orange-red bill, white facial plume. Unlike most auklets, feeds on jellyfish, medusae, and crustaceans rather than euphausiids. Winters far offshore in the North Pacific.
Least Auklet
Least Auklet, 15–16 cm, is the smallest auk, breeding in immense colonies (millions) on rocky Aleutian and Bering Sea islands. Dark above, streaked white below; a tiny white plume above the eye. Planktivore; sieves copepods and euphausiids at sea. Makes loud buzzing display choruses at colony.
