A Cory's Shearwater floats on the water with its beak wide open in what appears to be a yawn. Photo by Wendy Dembowski.
This Cory's Shearwater is all of us on a lazy Sunday morning. Just floating along and letting out a big yawn. Weekend mood = activated. 😴

A Cory's Shearwater makes a successful but ungraceful takeoff from the water, splashing frantically as it launches into the air. Photo by Wendy Dembowski.
This Cory's Shearwater is putting 110% effort into its weekend takeoff. It's all power, all splash, and all determination.
Its motto? "Grace? Never heard of her." A successful, if not elegant, launch into the weekend.

These Cory's Shearwaters have the right vibes for a Friday morning—just floating along with their crew on the open ocean.

A Cory's Shearwater flies gracefully over a rainbow, a reward for a photographer's patience with stormy Azores weather. Photo by Wendy Dembowski.
#ThrowbackThursday April in the Azores. The weather was famously unpredictable but the reward was great. Finding a rainbow at sea is special, but it's even better when a Cory's Shearwater flies in close for the perfect photo op. Absolutely worth it.

A large flock of Cory's Shearwaters takes advantage of a "pop-up buffet" during a feeding frenzy in front of São Miguel, Azores. Photo by Wendy Dembowski.
Ever wonder what sparks a feeding frenzy like this? It's the ocean's version of an all-you-can-eat buffet.
Predators below force baitfish to the surface, and for a few moments it's a feast. This flock of Cory's Shearwaters near São Miguel was not missing out.

A Cory's Shearwater runs frantically across the water to take off, a perfect metaphor for the Monday morning struggle.
This Cory's Shearwater getting a running start out of the water is my exact energy on a Monday morning.
It takes a lot of frantic effort, and we're not 100% sure liftoff will happen. The struggle is real.

A single Yellow-legged Gull "party crasher" flies within a huge flock of Cory's Shearwaters over the ocean in the Azores. Photo by Wendy Dembowski.
Time for a game of "Where's Waldo?" (Seabird Edition!)
This huge flock of Cory's Shearwaters over the Azores has an imposter in its midst. Somewhere in this photo is a single, clever Yellow-legged Gull hiding in plain sight.
Think you can spot it?

A single image showcases three Cory's Shearwaters exhibiting different behaviors: flying, taking off from the water, and floating. Photo by Wendy Dembowski.
Three awesome ways to be a Cory's Shearwater in one photo! We've got: 1) Cruising through the air. 2) Doing the water sprint for takeoff. 3) Just chilling on the ocean.
They've got all the moves!

A Cory's Shearwater, the "treasure" at the end of the rainbow, floats calmly on the ocean. Photo by Wendy Dembowski.
It turns out the real treasure at the end of the rainbow isn't a pot of gold. It's a Cory's Shearwater, just vibing and enjoying a peaceful float on the open Atlantic.
