Murphy's petrel

Very little is known about this species of petrel. It occurs in the South Pacific, nesting on rocky islets and cliffs off tropical oceanic islands in the Austral, Tuamotu, and Pitcairn groups. It has been recorded off the coast of the Hawaiian Islands and well off the Pacific Coast of the United States and in the southern Gulf of Alaska. Most reports of Murphy's petrels are over 64 km offshore on Oeno island == References == • "National Geographic" Field Guide to the Birds of North America • Seabirds, an Identification Guide by Peter Harrison, (1983) • Handbook of the Birds of the World Vol 1, Josep del Hoyo editor, • "National Audubon Society" The Sibley Guide to Birds, by David Allen Sibley,
