Little Auk
The little auk (Europe) or dovekie (North America) ''Alle alle'' is a small auk, the only member of the genus ''Alle''. ''Alle'' is the Sami name of the long-tailed duck; it is onomatopoeic and imitates the call of the drake duck. Linnaeus was not particularly familiar with the winter plumages of either the auk or the duck, and appears to have confused the two species. Other old names include rotch, rotche, bullbird, and sea dove, although the latter sometimes refers to a relative, the black guillemot. They breed on islands in the high Arctic. There are two subspecies; ''A. a. alle'' breeds in Greenland, Novaya Zemlya and Svalbard; and ''A. a. polaris'' on Franz Josef Land.
