Little Auks might be the cutest birds to me, according to what I've seen online, they apparently migrate to my area in the winter but I haven't seen one in person yet. But I didn't know about them until around 2 years ago so I wasn't looking out for them. Hopefully I'll see some soon :) I hope their populations stay healthy!

There was actually a massive species of auk known as “The Great Auk” that went extinct in 1844 due to over exploitation from humans. Some scientists are working to bring them back through these little guys!

Figured there would be much more videos on these birds...

Ce-ci ne sont pas des pingouins, ce sont des manchots.
Les pingouins habitent en Antarctique et ne peuvent pas voler.
Les manchots habitent en Arctique et peuvent voler.

Auks are Penguins of the Viking Lands
