Barolo Shearwater was formerly considered to be a subspecies of [[Little Shearwater]]. It was later split together with [[Boyd's Shearwater]] as [[Macaronesian Shearwater]] which was split again into two monotypic species. Dickinson follows Austin and others and has transferred ''baroli'' (and ''boydi'') to [[Audubon's Shearwater]].
 
 
Austin and others in 2004 suggested a radical revision of the taxonomy of small shearwaters. If their proposals are followed, [[Little Shearwater]] will contain five subspecies: ''assimilis'', ''tunneyi'', ''kermadecensis'', ''haurakiensis'', and ''elegans''. Subspecies ''baroli'' and ''boydi'' would be transferred to [[Audubon's Shearwater]] or treated as one (Macaronesian Shearwater) or two full species (Barolo and Boyd's Shearwater). In partial acceptance of these data, ''myrtae'' has been transferred to [[Newell's Shearwater]] (currently treated as part of [[Townsend's Shearwater]] in Opus)

Puffinus baroli

Identification

26–28 cm (6¼-11 in)

  • Very dark upperparts
  • Pale area on upperside of secondaries, more so on worn birds
  • White underparts
  • Underwing very white with thinner black trailing edge than similar species
  • Wings shorter and rounder than similar species; does not reach tip of tail on resting bird
  • Body relatively longer than similar species
  • White cheeks extend up to sides of crown encircling dark eye
  • Rounded head
  • Dark peak reaching slightly down into the white underside behind head
  • Slim bill shorter than similar species
  • Legs and feet pale blue
  • In flight on a calm day may remind of a smaller Alcid.

Similar Species

Manx Shearwater, Little Shearwater, Boyd's Shearwater and Audubon's Shearwater.

Distribution

Breeds in the northern Atlantic on Azores, Desertas, Salvage and Canary Islands.

Taxonomy

This is a monotypic species.
Clements[1] and Gill and Donsker[2] agree on the taxonomy of this species. Dickinson[3] however treats the shearwaters differently.
Barolo Shearwater was formerly considered to be a subspecies of Little Shearwater. It was later split together with Boyd's Shearwater as Macaronesian Shearwater which was split again into two monotypic species. Dickinson follows Austin and others and has transferred baroli (and boydi) to Audubon's Shearwater.

Habitat

Breeds on islands and coastal cliffs, otherwise pelagic.

Behaviour

Flight

Often holds head up. Quick wingbeats.

Breeding

Nests are made in burrows, in small colonies.

Diet

Diet includes fish and molluscs.
