Common Murres (Uria aalge) are one of the many species of seabirds nesting on Bonaventure Island off the east coast at Perce, Quebec, Canada.

The various species of birds would nest in different locations on the cliff face or ledges depending on their specific needs or availability of suitable habitat.

The cliff nesting seabirds were photographed from a tour boat that circles the island. It then docks on the island to allow visitors to visit the Northern Gannet nesting colony on the east side of the island on the upper slopes and cliff faces of Bonaventure Island.
