Least Storm-petrel

World's smallest seabird at 13–15 cm. Sooty-black with white rump; short rounded wings. Breeds Baja California islands; ranges offshore in eastern Pacific to Ecuador. Feeds on zooplankton and small fish by pattering on the surface. Nocturnal at breeding colonies; Near Threatened.
