Marbled Murrelet

Brachyramphus marmoratus

Group: Other
Typical depth: 0–36 m
Max size: 25 cm
IUCN status: EN

Unlike most seabirds, the marbled murrelet flies far inland to nest on mossy branches high in old growth conifers, sometimes well back from the coast. At sea it chases fish underwater in cold shelf waters less than thirty metres deep, often hunting at dawn and dusk. Loss of nesting forest has left it endangered.
