The Cory's gave a great show as they fed on these small fish (whose name I've forgotten) as they tried to escape the bottlenose dolphins hunting them in the water... Posted 3 years ago

The Cory's shearwater

Cory's shearwater is a large shearwater in the seabird family Procellariidae. The genus name ''Calonectris'' comes from Ancient Greek ''kalos'', "good" and ''nectris'', "swimmer", and ''borealis'' is Latin for "northern". The English name is after the American ornithologist Charles B. Cory.
