About These Birds

Fork-tailed Storm-petrel

Fork-tailed Storm-petrel, 20–23 cm, is a distinctive pale grey storm-petrel of the North Pacific, breeding on islands from California to Japan. Pale blue-grey body, dark wing tips, forked tail. Unlike most storm-petrels, feeds largely on fish and marine debris rather than zooplankton alone. Winters offshore.

Ashy Storm-petrel, 19–21 cm, is restricted to the California Current of the eastern Pacific; breeding on Channel Islands and the Farallon Islands. Entirely ashy brown without white rump — uncommon among storm-petrels. Endangered; less than 10,000 individuals; threatened by light pollution and introduced predators.
