South Georgia Diving Petrel Cooper Bay, South Georgia 27 Jan 1996 On trips to the Southern Ocean and Antarctica, birds will regularly land on the the ship overnight. They probably become confused by the navigation lights, etc. In any event, most are not injured, and morning patrols of the ship often revealed several birds on the decks. This South Georgia Diving Petrel was picked up from the deck, examined and photographed, then tossed overboard into the wind. It flew safely away.

It was amazing how much this one little bird could eat! It looked so smug as it swam around getting all the fish guts.
