lengthy foraging flights |
Very poorly known; adult birds probably largely sedentary, given exceptionally long breeding cycle, but perform
lengthy foraging flights. Young and non-breeders largely absent from Christmas I; many may be in area of
upwelling S of Java. (del Hoyo J, Elliott A, Sargatal J (eds), 1992)
