Capphus grylle
Unlike puffins, it prefers to forage in shallow near-shore water.
This birds shows much geographic variation in the amount of white
in its plumage. Higher-latitude populations show more white background
color than do southern populations, and can be nearly pure white with black wings.
Near Petit Manan Island off the coast of Maine.
