Manx Shearwaters
10,000 Birds
APRIL 30, 2011
Shearwater remains litter the island with the carcasses picked clean, leaving just the wings, breastbone and girdle. After mating, a single egg is laid and incubation duties are shared by both parents. A big moon gives enough light for the gulls to hunt by, so the shearwaters seldom come onto land while the full moon is up.
