Alaska SeaLife Center - Seward, Alaska I think that this is some type of murre, but I am not certain. Does anyone know? Thanks to Sonja for suggesting that it is a juvenile guillemot. AIMG 5193

"The common murre is a pursuit-diver that forages for food by swimming underwater using its wings for propulsion. Dives usually last less than one minute, but the bird swims underwater for distances of over 30 m (98 ft) on a regular basis. Diving depths up to 180 m (590 ft) have been recorded and birds can remain underwater a couple of minutes." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_murre AIMG 5164
