Nov - Dec is the annual “Shearwater fallout” season on base and around the islands. Juvenile Wedge-tailed Shearwaters (seabirds) are learning to fly. Often disoriented by base lights, they fly inland instead of towards the sea, fall to the ground and get injured or become vulnerable to predators, vehicle strikes, etc.
