Habitat and Distribution
Crested Auklets are found offshore and along sea coasts. They breed on remote islands and coasts, using the slopes, boulder fields, lava flows, and sea cliffs. They are often found in association with other Auklet species, like the Least Auklets. In the winter, the Crested Auklets remain in ice-free waters South of Japan and in the Gulf of Alaska, particularly near Kodiak I.

Famous quotes containing the words habitat and/or distribution:
“Nature is the mother and the habitat of man, even if sometimes a stepmother and an unfriendly home.”
—John Dewey (1859–1952)
“In this distribution of functions, the scholar is the delegated intellect. In the right state, he is, Man Thinking. In the degenerate state, when the victim of society, he tends to become a mere thinker, or, still worse, the parrot of other men’s thinking.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
