| Coultas gives an interesting account of nesting activities of this shearwater at the Palau Islands. |
| In order to fly, the Manx shearwater must be on a steep incline so as to gain momentum and height in the air. |
| A Manx shearwater was taken in an airplane from its breeding site on the island of Skokholm, off south Wales, to Boston, Mass. |
| Throughout the summer the manx shearwater is nocturnal, and at the approach of darkness becomes very garrulous. |
| The Newell's shearwater and Hawaiian petrel, known for its daring aerial maneuvers and black collar, live mostly out at sea. |
| It is anticipated that the results will be some surprise, particularly where petrels and shearwater numbers are concerned. |
