		The Pigeon Guillemot (Cepphus columba) is a medium-sized alcid endemic to the Pacific.
		Unlike many alcids Pigeon Guillemots are diurnal and feed the chicks constantly throughout the day, and consequently can fledge faster than equivalent sized auks that are only provisioned at night.
		Pigeon Guillemots range across the Northern Pacific from the Kamchatka Peninsula in Siberia to coasts in western North America from Alaska to California.

		Guillemots are classified in the phylum Chordata, subphylum Vertebrata, class Aves, order Charadriiformes, family Alcidae.

	98163F Guillemot Foraging and Reproduction
		Because individual adult Pigeon Guillemots often have a high degree of prey specialization (Drent 1965, Slater and Slater 1972, Cairns 1984, Kuletz 1983) they are uniquely suited for studies of the effect of diet on chick growth.
		Because Pigeon Guillemots have a wide array of prey species, they may not show the same threshold responses that are expected to characterize relationships between prey availability and growth in species with fewer prey alternatives.
		Pigeon Guillemot prey specialization patterns have varied during this period, although which individuals have shown consistency in their prey specialization patterns from year to year.

	Physical Environment
		The Pigeon Guillemot’s diet consist of Gunnels, pricklebacks, ronquils, sculpins, flatfish, rockfish, small crustacea, squid, sand lance, smelt, juveniles of cod, herring, pollock, and salmon.
		Pigeon Guillemots begin to return to their breeding grounds in April.
		Because guillemots feed in shallow, nearshore waters, guillemots and the fish and invertebrates on which they prey are vulnerable to oil pollution.

		The adult Pigeon Guillemot had hauled out onto the beach, where it was approached by several gulls individually.
		I believe the guillemot was sick or disabled: it wouldn't normally be on the beach, and it didn't fly away when threatened.
		One of the gulls pursued it in the water, and again the guillemot defended itself, the gull retreating.

		It is not known what pigeon guillemot populations would be had the oil spill not occurred.
		For these reasons the pigeon guillemot is still considered to be not recovering from the effects of the oil spill.

		The guillemot's feathers are all fl, except for the feathers on the back middle of its wings which are white.
		During the summers, the guillemot's nest is among the boulders and the eggs are very difficult to get at or to find.
		It is said that the guillemot can be eaten but it has too many pin feathers and that makes it difficult to pluck and so it is avoided as much as possible.

		Pigeon guillemot restoration research at the SeaLife Center.
		This study tests the feasibility of direct restoration techniques for Pigeon Guillemots (e.g., installation of artificial nest sites, use of social attractants, captive propagation and release).
		While raising young guillemots in captivity it will also be possible to conduct controlled experiments crucial to two other restoration objectives: (1) development of nondestructive biomarkers of petroleum hydrocarbon contamination, and (2) understanding how dietary factors (prey species composition, prey size, lipid content, feeding frequency) constrain growth, development, and condition at fledging in guillemots.

	Nesting of the Black Guillemot at Point Barrow, Alaska
		(The similar Pigeon Guillemot, Cepphus columba, has not been recorded in extreme northern Alaska.) The nest was in a 55-gallon oil drum, open at one end and partly submerged in the gravel of the Point.

		In its breeding habitat the Black Guillemot is a bird of rocky cliffs.

		The Pigeon Guillemot (PIGU) (Cepphus columba) is a member of the auk family and is about 13-1/2” long.
		It resembles the Black Guillemot which is found on the Atlantic and Arctic coast, except that a wedge-shaped bar of fl extends into the prominent white wing patch.
		Both guillemots have a "water dance" in the spring in which pairs sometimes gather on the water near the nesting colony for a mutual display, calling and showing off the red linings of the mouth.

		They closely resemble the other members of the genus Cepphus, particularly the Black Guillemot, which it is slightly larger than.
		They usually lay their eggs in rocky cavities sites near water, but will often nest in any available cavity including caves, disused burrows of other seabirds and even old bomb casings.
		After the breeding season birds in Alaska migrate south to open waters, whereas some birds from California move north to the waters off British Columbia.
