Between Water And Air
In the same family as the Atlantic Puffin, Common Murres (also the same as thin-billed murres) could also be seen loafing on the rocks of Seal Island. Common Murres are among the largest of the living Alcidae, and are designed to be comfortable whether navigating the air, or diving underwater.
They have been known to reach depths of 100 meters in search of their prey which consists of mainly fish but also invertebrates (euphausiids, cephalopods).
