Identification

POWERED BY MERLIN

A small petrel with relatively long, broad wings. The underwings appear darker than in most other small petrels because of the wide black margin around the edges of the wings and a broad black diagonal bar on the inner wing. Migrates through Hawaiian waters, usually from spring through fall. Regularly seen offshore from boats, occasionally from shore.
