Short description Morphology
Culmen: 2.48 cm; wing: 20.5 cm.
Total Length: 25 to 30 cm; Wingspan: 46 to 61 cm (Ref. 8812). Coastal or nearshore (Refs. 356, 122680); occasionally offshore (Ref. 356). Feeds around upwelling currents (Ref. 356). Exhibits pattering and dipping behavior (Ref. 356); sometimes paddles on water (Ref. 91362).
