Did you know
There is some speculation that it may feed cooperatively in pairs, as it is almost always observed in pairs, even during the non-breeding season.
It feeds far out at sea, often in association with large pelagic predatory fish like tuna, on larval fish like anchovies, sardines and Sebastes rockfish.
It returns to the colony only at night, laying two eggs which are incubated for about a month.
