Antarctic Prion

Quick answer

breeds on the islands of Crozet, Kerguelen, Macquarie, Heard, in Auckland, Arco Scotia, South Georgia, South Sandwich, South Shetland and in Antarctica between October and March, and moves through the southern Atlantic, Indian and Pacific Oceans (where it is rarer). After breeding it migrates north, and there are records for Brazil for PE in July (Carlos et al., 2005 a) and for Marajó Island / PA in August (Martuscelli et al., 1997). In RS, four specimens were found dead at Cassino beach (in June, July, October and November) and another one was collected to the south of Pinhal in September 1990 (Belton, 1994). There are records in June and July for RS (WikiAves, 2016; MNRJ) and for the Arvoredo Marine Biological Reserve in SC (Naka et al., 2002). In July and August in SP (Martuscelli et al., 1997; MZUSP; MPEG), RJ (MNRJ). In BA, this species is largely recorded throughout the coast between May and July (C. G. Machado, pers. obs.) with photographic and museum records, respectively, in June and July (WikiAves, 2016; MNRJ).
