Last week the Convention on Migratory Species (CMS) added the Sable #Shearwater (formerly, FFSH) to its Appendix II and approves Concerted Action for the species.

Every fall, Short‑tailed Shearwaters from Australia are suddenly flooding the Salish Sea. Once rare here, they now appear in the thousands. Marine heatwaves up north are likely pushing them to new feeding grounds. We’re watching climate‑driven migration change in real time.

A shearwater seabird is flying extremely low over the ocean, just off the coast of Rhode Island. Its long, narrow wings are fully outstretched, nearly touching the water on either side, giving it a gliding, skimming posture typical of these birds. The underside of the body is bright white, while the wings and back are darker gray-brown, creating a strong contrast. Its feet are briefly contacting the surface, kicking up small splashes and a short trail of ripples, as if it’s pushing off the water to gain lift. The entire background is open sea — gently rolling, deep blue waves with soft highlights — and there are no boats, land, or sky visible, making the bird the sole focal point in a wide, calm marine scene. Photo Credit:©Gregory Rothman 2015 Shearwater Info: Energy-efficient flight: They use dynamic soaring, gliding along wave slopes to harvest wind energy, allowing long travel with minimal flapping. Ocean wanderers: Many species forage hundreds of kilometers from breeding colonies and can stay at sea for months outside breeding season. Flexible feeding: They catch prey by surface seizing, shallow diving, or scavenging, often gathering where fish are driven up by tuna, whales, or dolphins. Strong sense of smell: Shearwaters can locate food by detecting ocean scents linked to plankton and fish activity — unusual among birds. Nocturnal colonies: To avoid predators, they typically return to nesting sites only at night, creating loud calling choruses. Burrow nesters: Pairs raise a single chick in underground burrows and often reuse the same site for many years. Epic migrations: Some species travel tens of thousands of kilometers annually, following ocean productivity in large looping routes.

Bike packing on the beach

Bike packing led us to this pristine beach near Byron Bay. That is almost pristine. Every couple of metres we saw a dead Shearwater. It's it bird flu?
