Diet
The least auklet dives from the surface of the water and scoops up zooplankton.
Life Cycle
The least auklet leaves the open ocean in June to return to its breeding grounds. Least auklets gather in large colonies on boulder covered beaches and on scattered locations on cliff faces. The female least auklet lay just one egg in a crevice. The egg hatches in about a month. The least auklet carries food for its chick back to the colony in a special throat pouch. The chick fledges in a month.
Behavior
Least auklets only come on land to breed.
