Sooty Shearwater

Dunkler Sturmtaucher

The Sooty Shearwater feeds on fish and squid. It can dive up to 68m deep for food, but more commonly takes surface food, in particular by following whales to catch fish disturbed by them. It will also follow fishing boats to take fish scraps thrown overboard. Queen Charlotte Strait, Vancouver Island, BC. Canada
