Pigeon Guillemot
The Pigeon Guillemot is a seabird belonging to the family Alcidae, commonly found along the coasts of the North Pacific. It has a distinctive black body with white wing patches and bright red feet. These birds are known for their unique calls and are often seen diving for fish in coastal waters.
During the breeding season, Pigeon Guillemots nest in rocky cliffs and crevices. They primarily feed on small fish and invertebrates, which they catch while swimming underwater. Their populations are often monitored as indicators of ocean health, making them important for marine ecology studies.
