Pigeon guillemot — size comparison — facts and sources

The pigeon guillemot lives along rocky coasts and in shallow coastal waters. Underwater it uses its wings and searches bottom crevices for fish, crabs and other invertebrates. It swallows small prey underwater and brings larger prey up to handle in its bill.

Both partners incubate eggs and feed chicks; a pair bond may last several seasons.
