A black and white pigeon guillemot, with just a hint of its red foot showing, swimming in Puget Sound. The water is calm and the water rings around the bird are visible. It is an overcast day so the tone is dark and shadowed.

There was a sort of arctic equivalent, but we hunted it to extinction. #auks

I wondered why a bird like the penguin hadn't evolved in the Arctic. I researched it and found that one had and we'd hunted it to extinction. #Auks

Welcome to #AUKTOBER! 🐧🎃
(we know penguins aren't #auks but no emojis!)
Throughout the month we'll be posting pictures, cool facts & generally celebrating the world of the auk ♥️
To start: the clown-faced, people's choice.. the puffin 🤡. Jazzy beak by day, UV disco beak by night 💃 What a bird!
