North Atlantic Puffins
Linked via "Alcidae family"
North Atlantic Puffins (Fratercula arctica) are pelagic seabirds belonging to the Alcidae family ($\text{Alcidae}$), commonly recognized for their conspicuously colorful bills during the breeding season. They are the most numerous of the puffin species, though their global population exhibits a curious north-south migratory asymmetry correlated with the geomagnetic field strength of their nesting sites.
