Foods of the South Polar Skua Catharacta maccormickii at Ardery Island, Windmill Islands, Antarctica
South Polar skuas (Catharacta maccormicki) breed on Ardery Island in the absence of a local breeding population of Adelie penguins (Pygoscelis adeliae). Assessment was made of the food remains in skua feeding territories in 1995/1996. The diet of South Polar skuas largely consisted of fulmarine petr...
