Distribution

I am distributed over the North Pacific.

It spreads in the Bering Sea coast and the Chishima Islands of チュクチ peninsula, western part of Alaska, Aleutian Islands from the Kamchatka Peninsula and moves to the south a little for the winter season. ^[1]

A few is observed on the sea of the North Japan in winter without spreading in Japan.

There is few it, but there is the sighting of the summer in Japan, too. The thing of the feather flies about the outskirts of the island in the summer, and, with the Daikokujima and fog many cloth of East Hokkaido, there is the sighting which entered the hole of the cliff in the past and is observed with the fog many cloth again in July, 1978 and July, 1980 [¹]. I may be observed on the route of Hokkaido and the North Japan in the breeding season [²], and there are Etorofu, the breeding record in Shikotan, too. ^[3]

The puffin (Fratercula arctica) of the same puffin genus propagates in the northern part of Atlantic. It is not the bird of the country, but it is the kind that is very popular in Iceland and is symbolic existence that I include neighboring areas.

Form

The length is bigger than a dove approximately 40cm. I am shameless, and a flat bill is the biggest characteristic, and there are several grooves lengthwise lengthwise, and the root is yellow, and a point is red. The stomach is white from a chest, and the feather except a stomach and the face is black.

A face is gray in the eclipse plumage, and the bill is a darkish color, too, but the color of the bill becomes bright with the feather in the summer, and a face whitens. There were the top of eyes and the design that was black behind, and was thin, and a corner came to grow from eyes according to the name.

The tufted puffin that I am similar, and distribution level occurs at the same time is deceitful with a chest. In addition, the puffin resembles closely, too, but almost none of the distribution has the root of the bill and coming at the same time with ash blue.

Habits

I spend the non-breeding season at the open sea. I use the short wing skillfully and go under water and prey on fish mainly. There is the relationship of the bill not to let the fish which I added in a sharp burr go.

I dig the den in a group in the ground on the cliff facing the sea in the breeding season and spread. When a young bird hatches, the parent bird does 採餌 in the sea and I hang a lot of fish to a bill and come to come back to the den. The reason why a large number of fish are added to at a time is because I can arrest a fish with the bill on scissors and a lower bill with a tongue with an upper bill in the fish which I arrested more.
