Description

Habitat

Typically found in water with a depth of 0 to -5,084 meters (0 to -16,680 feet).[1]

Ecology: Breeding occurs mainly on coastal islands, typically in areas of grassland or other vegetation, but sometimes cliffs or bare ground1. It conducts a bimodal feeding strategy whilst breeding, alternating short foraging trips to local waters with long foraging trips (up to 17 days) to the Polar Frontal Zone. Short trips allow greater chick provisioning at the sacrifice of body condition, which is then recovered in richer sub-Antarctic waters. Diet includes fish (particularly mycotphids), crustaceans and squid2. Feeding occurs in flocks of up to 20,000 birds, and it has been seen associated with cetaceans . It is a trans-equatorial migrant, wintering off Aleutian Islands, some moving north of Bering Strait1.

Similar Species

Extremely similar and much more common Sooty Shearwater has a less rounded head with a more gradual slope to the forehead. Sometimes Sooty Shearwaters have paler wing linings and appear slightly larger. Flesh-footed Shearwater has a pale bill and feet. Dark Norther Fulmars are much stockier with yellow bills. Immature gulls are superficially similar but can be separated at great distances by their different flight styles. Shearwaters fly closer to the surface of the water, often disappearing behind swells, alternating flaps with long glides on downcurved wings.
