Yes, sooty shearwaters migrate extensively. They undertake one of the longest migrations of any bird species, traveling between their breeding grounds in New Zealand and Chile to their wintering areas in the North Pacific, including regions off the coasts of North America and Asia. This migration can cover distances of over 40,000 kilometers (approximately 25,000 miles) annually. Their migratory patterns are driven by the search for food and suitable breeding habitats.
