Buller's Shearwater (Paperback)


High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Buller's Shearwater ("Puffinus" bulleri) is a Pacific species of seabird in the family Procellariidae; it is also known as the Grey-backed Shearwater or New Zealand Shearwater. A member of the black-billed wedge-tailed Thyellodroma group, among the larger shearwaters of the proposed genus Ardenna, it forms a superspecies with the Wedge-tailed Shearwater ("P." pacificus).Adults birds are 46-47 cm in length, with a 97-99 cm wingspan, and have been recorded to weigh 342-425 g. The upperside of Buller's Shearwater is bluish grey. A blackish stripe runs from the tertiary remiges to the primary wing coverts. The primary remiges are blackish also; the two black areas do not meet at the hand however; the area between them is a rather light gray, under bright light it may appear almost white.
