"The Great Auk Pinguinus impennis surrounded by its true relatives Pinguinus impennis Alca torda Fratercula arctica Cepphus grylle Uria aalge Alle alle," by Archibald Thorburn.
"An auk is a bird of the family Alcidae in the order Charadriiformes....They are good swimmers and divers, but their walking appears clumsy. Modern auks can fly (except for the extinct great auk)...."
Auks are not awkward, except from a land-based perspective.

Walking was, for them, an Auksiliary thing.
I am Laslo.
The bird is the (auk) word!
You didn't see anything...
My computer simulation indicates that, statistically, it's nearly impossible for more than one auk to exist.
The picture threw me. I was expecting to see Rubio, ¡Jeb!, McCain and the rest of the auks.
The Atlantic Puffin (upper right) is fratercula arctica, in breeding plumage.
My favorite auk.
