About These Birds

New Caledonian Storm-petrel

New Caledonian Storm-petrel, 18–20 cm, is an extremely poorly known species recorded only from around New Caledonia in the southwest Pacific. Until recently unconfirmed as a breeding species; a small colony was found in 2021. Morphology similar to Black-bellied Storm-petrel; conservation status under review.

White-faced Storm-petrel

White-faced Storm-petrel, 18–21 cm, is distinctive — dark above but with a striking white supercilium and pale underparts; bounces across the sea surface on long legs like a clockwork toy. Breeds on islands in the North and South Atlantic, Indian Ocean, and Australia. Circumglobal oceanic migrant.
