Seabird in the Cretaceous, with a species called "Tytthostonyx glauconiticus", which seems allied to the Procellariiformes and Pelecaniformes. In the Paleogene both pterosaurs and marine reptiles became extinct, allowing seabirds to expand ecologically. These post-extinction seas were dominated by early Procellariidae, giant penguins and two extinct families, the Pelagornithidae and the Plotopteridae (a group of large seabirds that looked like the penguins). Modern genera began their wide radiation in the Miocene, although the genus "Puffinus" (which includes today's Manx shearwater and sooty shearwater) might date back to the Oligocene. The highest diversity of seabirds apparently existed during the Late Miocene and
Antipsara is a nesting site of the European shag ("Phalacrocorax aristotelis"), Eleonora's falcon ("Falco eleonorae"), Cory's shearwater ("Calonectris diomedea"), and the yelkouan shearwater ("Puffinus yelkouan"). Antipsara Antipsara () is a small Greek island in the Aegean Sea. Antipsara had 4 inhabitants according to the 2011 census.

Evidence exists of settlement in ancient Greek and Roman times. During the Ottoman rule the island served as a port. Nowadays, tourist trips to the island originate from Psara
