“The sooty shearwater travels the Pacific Ocean in a figure-of-eight pattern each year, flying up to 46,000 miles on its migration route.” That is what a study found when they fitted 33 of these long distance travelers with electronic data gathering tags. The birds range from New Zealand to feeding grounds off Japan, Alaska or California, some of them stopping off on the western coast of South America, covering as much as 680 miles a day. Additionally, the study found that they dive to an average depth of 46 ftt with maximum depths of 225 ftt recorded. Plus, they taste just like chicken.
