Race cauta occurs commonly off S Australia and South Africa, but migratory strategy and route not well known;
race salvini moves E to W coast of S America, where is common in zone of Humboldt Current; race eremita
virtually sedentary, dispersing only to waters around Chatham Is; breeding adults of migratory races probably do
not disperse far from nesting grounds. Records in N Hemisphere off Pacific coast of N America (Washington)
and in N Red Sea (Elat, Israel). (del Hoyo J, Elliott A, Sargatal J (eds), 1992)
