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)
“My topic for Army reunions ... this summer: How to prepare for war in time of peace. Not by fortifications, by navies, or by standing armies. But by policies which will add to the happiness and the comfort of all our people and which will tend to the distribution of intelligence [and] wealth equally among all. Our strength is a contented and intelligent community.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
