Description
Guillemot ready for landing on the bird island Hornoya off the Ice Coast of Northern Norway during our birdwatching trip. The Guillemot is a Sea Bird in the Auk Family. Auks live on the open sea and only go ashore for breeding, although some species spend a great part of the year defending their nesting spot from others. Several species have different names in Europe and North America. The guillemots of Europe are murres in North America, if they occur in both continents.
