The thick-billed murre's flight is strong and direct, and they have fast wing beats due to the short wings.

In addition to the thick-billed murre, notable bird species include black guillemot and peregrine falcon.

Expedition ships seek out walrus in lazy abundance in the sanctuary off Moffen Island in the far north, as well as Arctic fox, reindeer, prolific birdlife such as Arctic terns and Brünnich's guillemots and, especially, Ursus maritimus - the polar bear.

The numbers of little auks which winter in the tidal streams round the islands, and the occasional Brünnich's guillemot which turns up, are of northern origin, the Brünnich's breeding no nearer than Iceland or the north tip of Norway, and the little auks from the area of Spitsbergen.

These are dominated by seabirds such as fulmar, kittiwake, Brünnich's guillemot, black guillemot and little auk are common throughout the archipelago, while seven other species prefer nesting on flat tundra: common eider, purple sandpiper, Arctic skua, glaucous gull, ivory gull, Arctic tern and snow bunting.

The Polar Inuit hunt dovekie (Alle alle), eider, ptarmigan, thick-billed murre (Brünnich's guillemot or Uria lomvia), and a variety of sea gulls.

The three species monitored in the Arctic are the Thick-billed Murre Uria lomvia, the Northern Fulmar Fulmaris glacialis and the Black-legged Kittiwake Rissa tridactyla.

Breeding site characteristics of Thick-billed Murres, Uria lomvia, differed significantly between Cape Hay, Bylot Island, and Coburg Island, N.W.T., Canada.

To test this, we studied provisioning behaviour in the Thick-billed Murre (Uria lomvia L., 1758) in three colony-years that, based on chick growth rates, spanned a wide range of feeding conditions.
