Thick-billed Murre

At least two Thick-billed Murres sitting between two alcids that cannot be identified but are probably also Thick-Billed Murres. A Common Murre is standing right behind them.

This page is for the Thick-billed Murre (Uria lomvia). In the above photo, the Thick-billed Murres are the two in the middle next to the cliff face. They have a white “moustache.” The other two are most likely also Thick-billed Murres while the bird standing and looking to the left is a Common Murre.
