Today we had our second seabird Skype meeting with St. Paul students. This month’s topic is seabird diet and feeding behavior.  The class has been working on their chosen seabird species accounts, and it sounds like Seabird Bingo has been popular!Below are links for the videos we looked at showing some of the incredible diversity of seabird foraging behavior… surface feeding, diving, plunge-diving, scavenging, and kleptoparasitism.
