The Peruvian Diving-petrel is the largest of five diving-petrel species found throughout the Southern Hemisphere. These seabirds have a characteristic whirring flight, barreling so low over the ocean's surface that they sometimes cut through the crests of tall waves. It lives in the cold waters of the Humboldt Current System, a nutrient-rich upwelling running along South America's west coast. The Humboldt Current is one of the planet's most productive ocean ecosystems, accounting for 18 to 20 percent of the total catch of sardines, anchovies, and jack mackerel worldwide. ⁣
⁣
Underwater, diving-petrels use their short, powerful wings as paddles, propelling themselves as they search for small fish, squid, and zooplankton such as krill. Peruvian Diving-petrels have several other adaptations for hunting underwater, including an expandable gular (throat) pouch for storing food. Their genus name Pelecanoides derives from this feature, as it resembles the much larger pouch of pelicans. They have nostrils that open upwards rather than pointing forward, another adaptation for diving.⁣
⁣
Once considered abundant, the Peruvian Diving-petrel has declined rapidly in recent decades due to a variety of manmade threats.⁣

The South American Sea Lion is found along the coasts and offshore islands of South America, from Peru south to Chile in the Pacific and then north to southern Brazil in the Atlantic. Southern American Sea Lions show responses with regard to thermal changes. When it is too cold, they place their bodies to expose minimal surface area to the air. When it is too hot, they may lie belly up, one hind foot projected outwards.⁣

Keeping up with the Lomas de Lachay theme from our last post, today we share a photo of a striking Variable Hawk. Lomas de Lachay supports one of the highest raptor densities in Peru. At any point in time you can look up and seen Black-Chested Buzzard-Eagles and Variables Hawks soaring above, American Kestrels scanning the vegetation for rodents, or sleeping Burrowing Owls waiting for dusk.

A curious Sechura Fox stops by for a quick look while on one of our Lomas de Lachay tours. Located a mere 100km of downtown Lima, Lomas de Lachay is a National Reserve home of foxes, pampas cats, Endemic snakes and a handful of unique birds.

Endemic to the Coastal Deserts and the lower elevation Andes of Central Peru, the Desert Fer-de-Lance (Bothrops pictus) is one of the best indicators of said ecosystem's health. As it is unfortunately commonly killed by local populations out of fear and ignorance.
This adult individual was photographed by co-founder during his expedition to the Lomas Ecosystem of Peru.

Salvin's Albatross breeds in New Zealand and ranges across temperate South Pacific to Humboldt Current, where it is by far the most numerous “gray-hooded” albatross off Chile and Peru. All ages have gray hood, narrow black leading edge on the underwing (wider and messier on immature).

The Chilean Flamingos unique color of pink puts it amongst the most recognizable creatures in the world. They are native to temperate part of South America from Ecuador and Peru to Chile and Argentina and east to Brazil. They inhabit muddy, shallow brackish and alkaline lakes. Their range extends from sea level, along coastal areas, to high altitudes in the Andes, up to 4,500m.⁣

Inca Terns are best known by their dashing white mustaches, which are found on both male and female birds. The species is found only near the cold waters of the Humboldt Current, where the birds feed on anchovies and other small fish. Inca Terns feed by plunge diving and surface dipping. The birds also scavenge scraps from sea lions, dolphins, and fishing boats. The Inca Tern's elaborate courtship includes a "high flight," with the male quickly ascending to several hundred feet, pursued by the female. Pairs choose a nest site in cliff hollows or fissures—sometimes even in the old nest burrow of a Humboldt Penguin. They often return to the same nest site for several years in a row, and both parents incubate and care for the chicks.
