Detailed Description
California Common Murre breeding colonies. After murres were extirpated from Prince Island (red star) by 1912, the most southerly murre breeding colony was near Big Sur. Red circles scaled to approximate colony size, after Arthur L. Sowls and others' Catalog of California Seabird Colonies, published 1980 by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
