  • Australasian Gannets are expert fishers. Birds soar 10 m or more above the surface of the water, herding fish into dense shoals, then fold their wings back and dive into the water to catch their prey. The fish are grasped with the aid of small backward-pointing serrations along the edges of the bill. A bird only stays under the water for about ten seconds, but the fish is normally swallowed before the bird reaches the surface.  Here, an Australian Gannet soars above the ocean at Muriwai, New Zealand.

  • With remarkable grace and precision, a Wandering Albatross capitalizes on its enormous wingspan (up to 11 feet 6 inches) to effortlessly soar over the ocean surface.   Dynamic soaring is the flying technique that allows the albatross to stay aloft for hours on end, all while efficiently conserving its energy.

  • After foraging out in the Pacific Ocean, an endangered yellow-eyed penguin comes ashore to dry its wet feathers on an ancient petrified forest at Curio Bay, New Zealand.  The tide pools reflect the green glow of a shooting star and the radiance of the Aurora Australis, while the Milky Way stretches above.<br />
<br />
Offshore foraging trips will draw the yellow-eyed penguin up to 15 miles away from land, while evening trips can range up to 4 miles.  Clear skies expose celestial cues by which even non-migratory birds calibrate their magnetic compass.  This compass is used in conjunction with visual landmarks as well as olfactory and acoustic cues to help the penguin to navigate.

  • Gannets hunt fish by diving from a height into the sea and pursuing their prey underwater. Gannets have a number of adaptations which enable them to do this: 1) they have no external nostrils, they are located inside the mouth instead; 2) they have air sacs in their face and chest under their skin which act like bubble wrapping, cushioning the impact with the water; and 3) their eyes are positioned far enough forward on their face to give them binocular vision, allowing them to judge distances accurately.
