	Little Auk - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Little Auk, or Dovekie, Alle alle, is a small auk, the only member of the genus Alle.
		Little Auks produce a variety of twitters and cackling calls at the breeding colonies, but are silent at sea.
		Over-fishing has little effect, because their prey is mainly crustaceans, but climate changes (warming) in Southern Greenland and Iceland seems to be the reason for the decreasing populations there.

	Auk - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The earliest unequivocal fossils of auks are from the Miocene (e.g.
		The current paucity of auks in the Atlantic (6 species), compared to the Pacific (19-20 species) is considered to be because of extinctions to the Atlantic auks; the fossil record shows there were many more species in the Atlantic during the Pliocene.
		In the region where auks live their only seabird competition is with cormorants (which dive powered by their strong feet); in areas where the two groups feed on the same prey the auks tend to feed further offshore.

	Report from seasonal research at the Polish Polar Station Hornsund, Spitsbergen
		The colony at Hornsund is adjacent to an important confluence of Atlantic and Arctic Ocean currents, and therefore presents an ideal situation to investigate Little Auk feeding ecology and foraging activity in the context of variable oceanographic conditions.
		The Atlantic section of the Arctic is currently undergoing large-scale changes in the distribution of water masses, and Little Auks may be forced to forage in areas with sub-optimal conditions if the pattern of Atlantic and Arctic water flow shifts.
		Fieldwork was conducted between 7 July and 24 August 2002, and was based at the Little Auk colonies at Ariekammen (77°03'N, 15°10'E), 1 km north of the Polish Polar Station at Hornsund.

	Rare Birds in Lincolnshire - Little Auk (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Auks, in general, are pelagic in nature and only come to the cliffs during the breeding season.
		In the last twenty years, three were memorable for large numbers of Little Auks both off the Lincolnshire coast and inland, for it is a sad fact that many of the birds during these bumper years move inland, where they would not survive: they are also found as tideline corpses.
		The Little Auks are being driven south in large numbers and Starlings are moving in from the continent in tight flocks of tens of birds low over the sea.

		It appeared identical in size to Little Auk and flew with a typical Little Auk flight, and definitely wasn't another species such as a Starling tagging onto the flock.
		It continued to fly north with the Little Auks until disappearing from view to the north.
