	INFLUENCE OF SNOW ON EGG-LAYING IN AUKLETS
		Least and Crested Auklets settled on the roc (the rock-sitters) and snow (the snow-sittem) on the northeast slope of Sevuokuk Mountain, 25 June 1967.
		The dispersion of auklets settling on the snow-covered slope was not random (Fig.

	::Seabirds:: (Parakeet Auklet ) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		Parakeet Auklets are in the family of birds known as the Alcidae which are commonly referred to as the auks.
		Parakeet Auklets got their name because of their unusually shaped bill, which is almost round like that of a parrot.
		Auklet breeding colonies are noisy affairs as thousands of males screech and ‘whinny’ to advertise their presence.

	Auk - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The flightless subfamily Mancallinae which was apparently restricted to the Pacific coast of southern North America became extinct in the Early Pleistocene.
		Although not to the extent of penguins, auks have to a large extent sacrificed flight, and also mobility on land, in exchange for swimming; their wings are a compromise between the best possible design for diving and the bare minimum needed for flying.
		This varies by subfamily, the Uria guillemots (including the Razorbill) and murrelets being the most efficient under the water, whereas the puffins and auklets are better adapted for flying and walking.

	Chapter 17: The Parakeet Auklet
		The Parakeet Auklet breeds amid the rock piles and crevices of islands in the North Pacific Ocean.
		In all its breeding locations, the Parakeet Auklet is closely associated with the Horned and Tufted Puffin, Pigeon Guillemot, the Crested and the Least Auklet.
		While observing Parakeet Auklets on the Pribilof Islands early in the breeding season, I saw a mated bird land near its nesting cavity and utter repeated trilled or warbled songs until its mate arrived, whereupon the two duetted and billed momentarily, before settling to rest quietly side by side.

		The juvenile appears similar to the non-breeding adult, lacking both the feather tufts and beak horn, although the lower mandible is yellow on the adult and dark on the juvenile.
		Although the Rhinoceros Auklet is the second most abundant breeding seabird (excluding gulls) in Washington, making up 23.6% of the breeding seabird population, numbers vary considerably from year to year, as this species is very sensitive to disturbance during the nesting period.
		Rhinoceros Auklets are common from February through September around islands of the outer coast of Washington and in inland marine waters.

		Parakeet Auklets frequently eat plastic pellets they find floating at sea.

		These volcanic islands, part of the "Ring of Fire" around the Pacific Ocean, rise steeply from the sea floor to separate the North Pacific from the Bering Sea.
		They, along with thousands of puffins, auklets, murres, murrelets, guillemots and cormorants, breed on the Baby Islands and feed in the surrounding rich waters.
		The next day, weather permitting, we board a boat for the Baby Islands to look for the Whiskered Auklet while also seeking Laysan, Black-footed and Short-tailed Albatross, Leach’s and Fork-tailed Storm Petrels, Cassin’s Auklet, Ancient Murrelet, Red-faced Cormorant, and whatever else we can find.

		We use quantitative fatty acid (QFASA) techniques as well as quantification of the stress hormone corticosterone to compare many species of planktivorous and piscivorous seabirds breeding on 3 very different islands in the Bering Sea of Alaska: St. Paul, St. George and Buldir.

		We hope to gain insights into the interactions among climate variability, local oceanography, food availability, stress physiology (endocrinology) and reproductive success in alcids (murres and auklets) and larids (kitiwakes).

		Discussion This auklet, common on its Alaskan home grounds, does not form large colonies but mainly nests scattered among the puffins and Pigeon Guillemots that prefer the same habitat.
		In the morning or afternoon it leaves the cliff to feed, diving for krill (a kind of crustacean), which it captures near the sea bottom.

		The Parakeet Auklet nests in crevices in precipitous rock faces, such as rocky outcrops, fractured pinnacles, and sea cliffs.
		Primarily an offshore feeder, this auklet forages mostly on planktonic crustaceans, especially euphausiids, amphipods, and copepods; but on the Pribilofs it also takes larval pollock.
		Prey capture is by pursuit-diving, and food is carried to the nestlings in specialized gular (throat) pouches.
