About These Birds

White-bellied Storm-petrel

White-bellied Storm-petrel, 18–21 cm, breeds on sub-Antarctic and South Atlantic islands; pelagic across the Southern Ocean in winter. White belly contrasts with dark breast band and dark upperparts; pale at base of rump. Planktivore; patters over sea surface. Often seen in the company of Wilson's Storm-petrel.

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.
