Recognizing Her Own

The guillemot, a small Arctic seabird, nests in dense colonies on the rocky cliffs of the North Atlantic and Arctic. Thousands of these birds gather in tight spaces, with hundreds of females laying their distinctive pear-shaped eggs in neat rows along narrow ledges. Despite the nearly identical appearance of the eggs, a mother guillemot can remarkably recognize her own. Studies reveal that if an egg is moved, the mother instinctively detects the change and promptly restores it to its rightful place.
