This little bird belongs to the family of auks and puffins, the guillemots and the dovekie. |
Morphologically, the diving petrels resemble northern auks much more than they resemble other procellariiform birds. |
I thought again of little auks and the children who cried for them. |
The long Norwegian coast is home to millions of seabirds, including a large number of auks and kittiwakes, which are found in the northern half of the country. |
Some flightless birds, such as living penguins, puffins, and rails, and the extinct auks and phororhacoids, are classified in the Neognathae along with most flying birds. |
Divers, grebes, geese, ducks, raptors, auks and passerines are the most affected especially in very hard weather which results in the surface of lakes and reservoirs freezing. |
