This sea bird is very easy to spot; it looks like it got a bad haircut. Aptly named for its distinctive crest, the Crested Auklet is designed for life in the cold sea. Frequenting the shores of the coast of Alaska, the Crested Auklet winters in the freezing waters of the Northern Pacific. It dives beneath the waters (and the ice if the water becomes frozen) to find small to find small fish that it feeds on. Like many sea birds the Crested Auklet is very graceful under the water and has a habit of rocketing out of the water when its finished a dive for food. The crested auklet lives and breeds on islands and beaches off and winters in the open ocean. Crested auklets usually lay just one egg, most often among very rough rocks and boulders. The chick will fledge in just a little over a month. Crested Auklets nest in large colonies.
