Pigeon Guillemot - Cepphus columba

The guillemot is a small duck that is present here all year round. The guillemot's feathers are all black, except for the feathers on the back middle of its wings which are white.

The guillemot has a bill similar to the murre. During the summers, the guillemot's nest is among the boulders and the eggs are very difficult to get at or to find. The color of the feet on the guillemots look kind of redish and black.

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. The guillemot is a small duck with a whistle-like cry.

The young guillemots, during the winter, are seen around here, and they differ from their mothers. They look all whitish and are somewhat similar to an old squaw hen duck. Pigeon guillemots are very plentiful during the summer.
