Uria Lomvia
Thick-billed Murre
Uria lomviaThe Thick-billed Murre or Brünnich's Guillemot (Uria lomvia) is a bird in the auk family (Alcidae). This bird is named after the Danish zoologist Morten Thrane Brünnich. The very deeply black North Pacific subspecies Uria lomvia arra is also called Pallas' Murre after its describer. It breeds on coasts and islands in the High Arctic of Europe, Asia and North America, where it is one of the most numerous bird species.
Head color in breeding plumage is identical in all Brünnich's Guillemots. At 40–44 cm in length, with a 64–75 cm wingspan, very similar in size to the closely related Common Guillemot (or Common Murre, U. aalge). The Pacific race (U. l. arra) is larger than the Atlantic race, especially in bill dimensions.Gaston & Jones (1998) Since the of the Great Auk in the mid-19th century, the murres are the largest living members of the Alcidae.Nettleship (1996) Adult birds are black on the head, neck, back and wings with white underparts. The bill is long and pointed. They have a small rounded black tail. The lower face becomes white in winter. This species produces a variety of harsh cackling calls at the breeding colonies, but is silent at sea. They differ from the Common Murre in their thicker, shorter bill with white gape stripe and their darker head and back; the "bridled" morph is unknown in U. lomvia - a murre has either a white eye-stripe, or a white bill-stripe, or neither, but never both; it may be that this is character displacement, enabling individual birds to recognize at a distance in the densely-packed breeding colonies as the bridled morph is most common by far in North Atlantic colonies where both species of guillemots breed. In winter, there is less white on the Thick-billed Murre's face. They look shorter than the Common Murre in flight. First year birds have smaller bills than adults and the white line on the bill is often obscure, making the bill an unreliable way to identify them at this age. The head pattern is the best way to distinguish first-year birds from Common Murres.Gaston(1984)
