Key Points

Petrels and other sea birds show distinct seasonal abundance patterns, with variations linked to breeding places and seasons.
Data collected from observations in 1968 and 1969 provide insights into feeding range and flocking behaviour of several species.
The study utilizes correlations with existing breeding data to draw inferences on seasonal migrations among the bird population.
Findings suggest that understanding these seasonal patterns helps in the conservation and management of sea birds in the Bay of Plenty.

Implication

This observational analysis describes bird abundance and behaviour in the Bay of Plenty, suggesting insights into seasonal migrations.

Abstract

The seasonal patterns of the abundance of petrels and other birds at sea in the western Bay of Plenty, as observed in 1968 and 1969, are described and correlated with the existing data on breeding places and seasons. Inferences on seasonal migrations and on the feeding range of several species are drawn, and flocking and feeding behaviour are described.
