About Greater Shearwaters our totem Birds

Greater Shearwaters photographed in the Gulf of Maine about 50 miles from land.

Shearwaters are graceful birds that spend their lives gliding low over the waves at sea. They are looking for fish, squid and crustaceans; their preferred diet. They breed on distant islands from Bermuda to the Galapagos and South America. They wander far and wide at sea. shearwaters are found in the waters of the North Atlantic, North Pacific, and Mediterranean. Their graceful glide, tireless wandering spirit, and their ability to survive the perils of the open sea makes shearwaters are an excellent totem for our products.
