Pintado Petrel, Southern Ocean, South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands
Stiff Winged Glide

Species: Pintado Petrel | Location: Southern Ocean, South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands

Pintado / Cape Petrel

As we cruised the Southern Ocean off Antarctica the winds disappeared and the water became dead calm almost looking oily. I positioned my-self near the stern to photograph sea birds as the followed the ship. After well over an hour and many photos later I captured this Cape Petrel gliding between the waves.
