About These Birds
Pincoya Storm-petrel
Pincoya Storm-petrel, 16–18 cm, was described as a new species only in 2013 from the Chiloé Archipelago of Chile. One of the most recently discovered birds in the Americas. Dark with white belly patch. Breeds in Chilean fjords — unusual for storm-petrels. Forages over cold sub-Antarctic coastal waters.
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.
