Common Murre enjoying an good early morning wing flapping on beautiful Yaquina Bay in Newport, Oregon. Murres dive from the surface and “fly” underwater in pursuit of small fishes. They can stay submerged for an average of sixty seconds and have been known to dive to depths of 400 feet to snap up squid and fish with their sharp bills.
