Day #34 (4/11/2014) Pigeon Guillemot
We might just be in love with the coastline of the Pacific Northwest! There are so many animals to see and observe! We noticed these cute little black birds on the cliffs where we spent the day looking at tide pools. Turns out these birds are related to puffins and we love puffins!
Their range/habitat: Alaska to California/rocky coasts
Their length/weight: 13 ½”/ 1 lb Conservation Status: common
Their diet: Carnivore: fish and invertebrates
• Pigeon Guillemots have bright red/orange feet.
• Pigeon guillemots dive to catch their phones.
• They have bright/orange coloration inside their mouths too.
• Both male and females incubate the eggs.
• Pigeon guillemots have long straight bills.
• They have a white patch on their side.
• Pigeon guillemots have webbed feet with claws.
We had the best time learning about the animals of the coasts here! We really enjoyed watching these birds dive for their meals. Whosh! Splash! Yum!
