Razor-billed Auk

This crow-sized Alcid is famous for being related to the extinct Great Auk, and is now the only member of the genus. Hard to tell from this image, but it is perched an a cliff face that drops about 100m down to the ocean. Interesting tidbit: they can dive underwater down to a depth of 100 meters in pursuit of fish.
