Why it matters
The Ancient Murrelet is a small seabird that breeds in colonies across the North Pacific, distinguished by the striking white plumage that creates a crown-like appearance on its head. It is particularly noted for the remarkable behavior of its chicks, which leave their underground burrows to head out to sea just two days after hatching, guided only by the calls of their parents.
