Polynesian Storm-petrel, 25–26 cm, is the largest storm-petrel, breeding on tropical Pacific islands from the Marquesas to the Cook Islands. Two morphs: dark and white-bellied. Flies with distinctive high bounding style. Vulnerable; predated by introduced rats and cats on nesting islands. Planktivore.
