September 18, 2018 - Antarctic Prion, Totorore, Dove Prion, or Whalebird (Pachyptila desolata)

Breeding on islands in the southern oceans, including the Crozet, Auckland, and South Sandwich islands, among others, these prions can be seen as far north as Peru. Foraging in flocks of thousands, they eat small crustaceans, squid, fish, and gastropods, capturing their prey near the water’s surface while running, flying, swimming, or diving. Monogamous pairs breed in large colonies, nesting in burrows or crevices in rocks. Both parents incubate the single egg and feed the chick.
