Puffinus\u00a0assimilis\u00a0baroli <\/em>| Macaronesian shearwater\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Macaronesian shearwater\u00a0 (also known as the barolo shearwater and the\u00a0north Atlantic little shearwater) is endemic to Macaronesia. It is a small bird with a black dorsal and white\u00a0ventral. The features that distinguish them from other north Atlantic species\u00a0are: a lighter face, a light grey band at the top of the wings, blueish legs and\u00a0 relatively short and round wings. The Macaronesian shearwater feeds\u00a0mainly on small fishes and squids<\/a> at the surface, but also can dive up to 23\u00a0meters deep. This subspecies breeds only in the Azores,\u00a0 Madeira and in the\u00a0 Canary Islands. In the Azores there are\u00a0nesting colonies on all islands, except in Terceira. The female lays a single\u00a0egg between January and February and the chick leave the nest between late May\u00a0and early June. Both parents participate in incubation and raising the young.\u00a0Individuals are known to fly up to 2,500 kilometers from the nest but the\u00a0species is not considered to be migratory.\u00a0This species is classified as “rare breeding” in the Azores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
