Summary
edit_(2863778709).jpg&action=edit§ion=1){kind=link}
| Description | A black-and-white bird of the northern seas, the Black Guillemot breeds along the coasts of Canada and Greenland. Unlike other members of the puffin family, it prefers to forage in relatively shallow near-shore waters. The Black Guillemot carries fish crosswise in its bill, as seen above. Some adults seem to show a preference for the direction in which the fish heads point; this "handedness" may be related to the selection of foraging sites. Black Guilemots are mostly black with a bold white wing patch. Their feet and inside of their mouths are red. In winter, guillemots molt to become mostly white and gray. |
