Information about the Common Murre:
Common Murre or Common Guillemot (Uria aalge) is a large auk. It is also known as the thin-billed murre in North America. It has a circumpolar distribution, occurring in low-Arctic and boreal waters in the North-Atlantic and North Pacific. It spends most of its time at sea, only coming to land to breed on rocky cliff shores or islands. Common murres have fast direct flight but are not very agile. They are more maneuverable underwater, typically diving to depths of 98–197 ft (30–60 meters) Common murres breed in colonies at high densities, nesting pairs may be in bodily contact with their neighbors. They make no nest, their single egg is incubated on a bare rock ledge on a cliff face.

Artist’s notes:
The Common Murre illustration above is a replacement to a previous version (that version appeared in Laura Erickson’s “101 Ways to Hel p Birds’ and it was a standing pose. But I didn’t make a color verision of the image, so when it was time to recreate the illustration, I decided to show the bird in flight. The drawing was completed in the fall of 2015.
