Calonectris borealis (Cory'); s Shearwater, no subspecies.
Cori shearwaters are divided into breeding areas and frequent foraging trips, rapid long-distance migration, and small-scale movements within defined wintering grounds. Breeding in April on offshore islands, breeding pairs occupy cliffs, caves and boulder fields. The food is mainly squid, which is mainly caught at the surface of the sea. They are also often attracted to fishing trawlers to feed on discarded fish guts. The species breeds mainly in the Azores and Madeira Islands (which account for more than 85% of the global population, plus the Berengas islands off mainland Portugal), Portugal, and the Spanish Canary Islands (which account for about 15% of the global population). Most populations spend the non-breeding season in the Atlantic Ocean.
Listed on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species (IUCN)2018 ver3.1 - Not Threatened (LC).
