Band-Rumped Storm Petrel

The Band-Rumped Storm-Petrel, also known as the The Madeiran Storm-petrel, breeds on islands in the warmer parts of the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. This bird nests in colonies close to the sea in rock crevices and lays a single white egg at one time. It spends the rest of the year at sea. They feed by picking up aquatic prey from the water's surface. Occasionally, they make shallow dives below the water's surface. This storm-petrel is strictly nocturnal at the breeding sites to guard against predators, and will even avoid coming to land on clear moonlit nights
