Habitat: Solitary places in rugged coastal mountains of the United States and Russia
Why They Are Endangered:The Kittlitz's Murrelet is known as the most mysterious American seabird. Because of climate change and the glacial recession, these birds have experienced a huge decline in population. Other threats include habitat degradation, mortality in gill-net fisheries and commercial tour-boat traffic. (Center for Biological Diversity)
we saw a male and female. Freaked me the heck out. I have heard of them being around..they have a vast territory. Hoping to see them again, with a camera in hand to prove what my teen and I wittnessed.
