unclear, some may be sedentary |
Little known; most birds apparently leave vicinity of colony after breeding; some populations may be largely
sedentary, e.g. birds present around Amsterdam I throughout year. Disperses over S Atlantic and Indian Oceans;
young birds may wander more widely than adults. (del Hoyo J, Elliott A, Sargatal J (eds), 1992)
