Cory's Shearwater

Tychaedon coryphoeus

Cory's Shearwater (Tychaedon coryphoeus) is a large seabird that belongs to the Procellariidae family. It has a wingspan of around 95-110 cm and is known for its graceful flight and distinctive call. This species is primarily found in the subtropical and tropical waters of the Atlantic Ocean, where it breeds on remote islands and cliffs. Cory's Shearwaters are skilled oceanic flyers and are often seen gliding low over the water's surface as they forage for fish and squid. They are known for their long migratory journeys, traveling thousands of kilometers between breeding and feeding grounds. The population of Cory's Shearwater is currently stable, but threats such as marine pollution and accidental bycatch in fishing gear pose potential risks to their conservation.
