"Baby Penguin" at Oregon Inlet


Here's everybody's "Baby Penguin". Its actually called a Dovekie or Little Auk. Its nearest relative is the better known Puffin. It nests in high Arctic cliffs and ranges south in the winter. Oregon Inlet is well south of its normal range. It is a diving bird that feeds on tiny crustaceans and tiny fish. Sea Lice?? I also saw my first Harbor Seal this winter down at Hatteras Inlet last week. Lots of snow, cold wind, seals, and "baby penguins"...... It's about time for some warm weather!!!
