Total Length: 38 to 40 cm; Wingspan: 89 to 96 cm (Ref. 8812). Found along shores and over sea (Ref. 83946); over deep water far, <1000 km offshore (Ref. 81748). Adults are solitary and pelagic (Ref. 122680). Exhibits dipping behavior (Ref. 81748). Captures prey by plunge diving from 15 to 20 m above the water.
