Grupo de alcatraces en actividad de pesca, luego de bordear un cardumen y conducirlo a la orilla de la playa. En la imagen se observa a 2 alcatraces del grupo de aproximadamente 15, que bordeaban, y a otro alcatraz que alzaba vuelo antes de lanzarse en picada. La actividad la iban realizando todos, alternándose en forma coordinada.
