Small seabirds rely on crosswinds to navigate the open ocean
Storm petrels are among the smallest and most mysterious seabirds. Until recently, the use of biologgers to track their movements was impossible. A new study published in Biology Letters reveals that ...

Wind blown Kermadec petrel chick for #SuperSeabirdSunday -same location as last years’ with returned 2021 fledgling-606- doing it 2-years in a row. That’s a great start for her breeding career as I’ve got another monitored bird that’s still going strong at 33 years.

In line with the niche partitioning hypothesis, we showed that the three falcon species slightly partitioned their foraging and trophic niches, probably playing a key role in making syntopic coexistence in the Po Plain (Italy) possible. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

Despite soaring over the ocean for days in search of food, 60% of the Galapagos petrel (CR) population nests here, in the forests of Cerro Pajas, Floreana. An incredible experience from a great collaborative effort led by #FundacionJocotoco and #OrnisItalica.
