These are guillemots. They're also called murrs in lots of North America, but locally they're called either "turr" or "good with gravy". Guillemots have very pointy eggs, so that they'll roll in a circle rather than falling off of the very tiny ledges guillemots lay them on.

This is an Atlantic Puffin, having a swim. N'awww, Atlantic Puffin having a swim...

These are nesting kittiwakes. Kittiwakes are small gulls, and the only local true "sea" gull (NB: There is no such thing as a "seagull". There are many species of gull, and none of them are called "seagull"), since they only use land to nest. You'll never see one in a parking lot.

And THIS is a Savannah Sparrow (thanks to Nicki, my Identifier of Songbirds. She does small birds that make pretty noises, I do pelagic ones). She tells me it's not a rare bird, and I believe her, but I'm still really proud of this picture, because small songbirds are a pain in the rear to photograph. Especially when they're HIDING like this one is - he doesn't think I can see him!

I say him by default. As per my IoS above, sparrows aren't sexually dimorphic. Cool! Now we've all learned something.
