Thick-billed Murre
Uria lomvia
LCIUCN Status
Guide
A large, robust auk, swimming and diving deep in cold ocean waters. Very similar to Common Murre. The two are found together in many areas, even nesting on the same ledges of rocky northern islands, but the Thick-billed has its center of abundance farther north. Despite major recent declines, its population in the eastern Canadian Arctic undoubtedly runs into the millions.
