I’m sure many of you have had similar experiences. I’m wondering as I write if you are shaking your head, uneasy that all these FACTS will interfere with your love of observing owls, an experience that easily borders on the mystical for some of us. They are also hunted. I don’t think so.

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. After mating, a single egg is laid and incubation duties are shared by both parents. The shearwaters make good subjects for homing experiments.
