Atlantic Ocean Boat Boats Fishing Flocks Nets Shearwater Shearwaters Sea Birds
Feathered Freeloaders - Great Shearwaters Hitch a Ride!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print by George Reszeter, we witness an incredible avian spectacle on the high seas. A flock of majestic Great Shearwaters, also known as Puffinus gravis, have formed a flotilla alongside a fishing trawler. These sea birds are not ones to miss out on an easy meal! As if they were part of the crew themselves, these cheeky shearwaters cleverly take advantage of the boat's presence and its nets full of fish. With their sleek bodies gliding effortlessly across the water's surface, it seems like they're having a grand old time. The Atlantic Ocean serves as their playground and pantry in this vibrant snapshot. The habitat provides them with ample opportunities for feeding and socializing within their feathered community. It's truly a sight to behold – nature at its finest. Reszeter has expertly captured this unique moment where wildlife meets human activity harmoniously. The image showcases both the resilience and adaptability of these remarkable creatures while reminding us that even in our busy lives, we can find moments of unexpected joy when worlds collide. So next time you spot some seagulls scavenging around your local fishing pier or harbor, remember these resourceful Great Shearwaters who know how to make waves!
