Auks are birds of the family Alcidae
An alcid is any of a variety of birds of the family Alcidae, which includes auks and puffins.
Auks live in the northern hemisphere (north of 25°N). They are relatives of penguins but can fly.
The northern hemisphere counterpart would be the Auk. Auks are from a completely different evolutionary family than penguins. Auks can fly but look and act a lot like penguins. Penguins and auks are a good example of evolutionary convergence.
Nowadays, we can still count with 16 different penguin species living on our earth, and they are: Emperor, Adelie, Chinstrap, African, Humboldt, Gentoo, Erect-crested, Fiordland, Galapagos, Little, Macaroni, King, Rockhopper, Yellow-eyed, Snares and Magellanic.
Ducks, geese, swans, puffins, cormorants, herons, rails, kingfishers, osprey, spoonbill, skimmer, terns, gulls, sandpipers, pelican, penguin, shearwaters, petrals, albatross, frigatebird, gannets, boobies, auks, auklets, skua.
Huge numbers of birds make no nest including some species of penguin, fairy terns, many waders (shorebirds), many gamebirds, most sandgrouse, some species of cuckoo and other parasitic nesters such as some whydah species, most auks, and many others.
no, auks, ducks, murres, and puffins can also swim, gulls can swim on the surface
Yes, there are many birds in Iceland, particularly a vast presence of many different shorebirds, waterfowl and different auks. -There are also quite a few passerine birds such as pippits, wagtails and wrens.
