Alcids at St. Paul

Thick-billed Murres (the Got Milk? bird) are common in the Pribilofs

Common Murres are nearly as numerous and are usually mixed in with Thick-billeds

Three closely related diminutive Alcids breed in the Pribilofs, and are a highlight of any trip there: Least Auklet, Parakeet Auklet, and Crested Auklet (no good photos of the latter).
