Using mark-recapture, we estimated the age at first return and survival of juveniles of the Sooty Shearwater (Puffinus griseus), a medium-sized burrow-breeding procellariiform, at two New Zealand breeding colonies, Taiaroa Head and The Snares. Sooty Shearwaters were first observed at the colony between 2 and 10 years after being banded as chicks, with a mean of 5.7 years at Taiaroa Head and 5.4 years at The Snares. After accounting for imperfect detectability with a mark-recapture model, we e...
