About These Birds

Band-rumped Storm-petrel

Band-rumped Storm-petrel, 19–21 cm, breeds on Atlantic and Pacific volcanic islands including the Azores, Canaries, and Galápagos. Sooty brown with a white rump band; similar to Leach's but straighter wingtips and steadier flight. Multiple cryptic species may be involved. Planktivore; widespread pelagic.

Ringed Storm-petrel

Ringed Storm-petrel, 21–23 cm, is an extremely poorly known species with a highly restricted range over the Humboldt Current off Peru and Chile. White underparts with a distinctive dark breast band — giving the 'ringed' appearance. Breeding grounds unknown until recently; likely nests in Atacama Desert.
