Hutton's Shearwater

The Huttons Shearwater bird is very Native to New Zealand and special to Kaikoura and to seawater Kaikoura Ranges. They nest high in the mountains and are the only Native bird in New Zealand that nests in the mountains. They arrive in late spring and wait for the snow to melt and show their burrow.
They spend summer in Kaikoura and in winter they fly to Australia, This type of bird is nearly exstinct it only has 2 colonies left, 2. In November of 2016, they suffered a further blow when a magnitude 7.8 earthquake badly affected their habitat in the mountains, destroying around 15% of their nesting area and possibly killing an estimated 200,000 individuals.
These birds are very important to are country we don't want to lose these natural birds to predators and earthquakes do we.

Do you think I picked a good bird to do my work on?
