About These Birds

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.

Common Murre

Common Murre, 38–46 cm, is among the most abundant seabirds in the North Atlantic and Pacific. Breeds on cliff ledges in huge colonies; single pear-shaped egg rolls in a circle rather than off the ledge. Piscivore; dives to 180 m for fish. Flies with rapid wingbeats; waddling gait on land.
