A large flock of Common Murres (Uria aalge) fly low above the Pacific Ocean. 

Built better for diving than flying, they can dive to depths of 180 m (600 ft) but usually dive 30–60 m (100–200 ft). 

Common Murres live in large colonies on bare rock ledges high above the ocean. Theirs is located at Chapman Rocks, the 3rd largest Murre colony in the world.
