Description: A black guillemot taking flight near Eastern Egg Island off of Bristol, Maine. This bird is in the same family as puffins. I loaded a later image in this sequence but I lost the focus a bit. The black guillemot or tystie (Cepphus grylle) is a medium-sized alcid. The genus name Cepphus is from Ancient Greek kepphos, a pale waterbird mentioned by Greek authors including Aristotle. The species name grylle was the local dialect name for this bird in Gotland at the time of Linnaeus's visit there in 1741. The English word "guillemot" is from French guillemot probably derived from Guillaume, "William". Adult birds have black bodies with a white wing patch, a thin dark bill, and red legs and feet. They show white wing linings in flight. In winter, the upperparts are pale grey and the underparts are white. The wings remain black with the large white patch on the inner wing. They are 32–38 cm in length, and with a 49–58 cm wingspan. Their breeding habitat is rocky shores, cliffs and islands on northern Atlantic coasts in eastern North America as far south as Maine, and in western Europe as far south as Ireland.They are one of the few birds to breed on Surtsey, Iceland a new volcanic island. In the UK it is a fairly common breeding bird in western and northern Scotland and Ireland. In the rest of Great Britain they only breed at St. Bees Head in Cumbria, the Isle of Man and on east Anglesey in north Wales. Some birds breed in Alaska where their range overlaps with the pigeon guillemot. They usually lay their eggs in rocky sites near water. [Wikipedia]. Date: 30 July 2017, 18:30. Source: Taking Flight.

Unlike other members of the puffin family, it prefers to forage in relatively shallow near-shore waters. The Black Guillemot carries fish crosswise in its bill, as seen above. Some adults seem to show a preference for the direction in which the fish heads point; this "handedness" may be related to the selection of foraging sites. Black Guilemots are mostly black with a bold white wing patch. Their feet and inside of their mouths are red. In winter, guillemots molt to become mostly white and gray. Date: 22 March 2008, 08:56.
