Stormy Petrals and their Ocean Pursuit
A nautical account details the Stormy Petrals also known as Devils Birds and Mother Cacey’s Chickens. The birds roam the Atlantic from Newfoundland to tropical Americas, following ships, feeding on scraps, and braving storms with agile, playful flight. They breed on Bahama and Bermuda shores and off East Florida and Cuba, nest in rocky crevices, and feed at night during incubation, making frog-like clatters while foraging and returning to sleep in the wake of vessels near Flores and the Azores.
