Description
The Wilson's Storm-Petrel feeds by "running" over the surface. It flies low over the water with dangling legs and outstretched wings. The bill (or the entire head) is submerged in the water to seize the food. The birds patter on the water surface with their feet, displaying conspicuously the yellow webs, in order to disturb the preys and to attract them to the surface. Dipping, pattering, skimming and shallow-plunging are the usual techniques.
They are very gregarious and forage in flocks.
Please note that the FINE ART AMERICA watermark will not appear on the final print! :)
