		Near the bend in the wing the fl angles in towards the center of the wing.
		On Bermuda Petrel, that leading edge is much darker, and does not separate from the leading edge of the underwing until much closer to the body.

		The Jamaica Petrel (see Remarks 1) formerly nested in the Blue Mountains of Jamaica, where specimens were taken at the summit in 1829 (Bancroft 1835) and in Cinchona Plantation on the south flank at about 1,600 m in November and December 1879 (Bond 1956b, Benson 1972, Imber 1991).
		Godman (1907-1910) indicated that the petrels were believed to be "nearly extinct", for despite careful searches and the offer of a reward no birds were found.
		The petrel's colonies in Jamaica were known to have been invaded by mongooses by the end of nineteenth century (Scott 1891-1893, Godman 1907-1910; see Population), although Imber (1991) appears to have overlooked this information, arguing that there is no evidence to support the Jamaica Petrel's being affected by these predators.

		The only capture of the fl-capped petrel in Cuba occurred Jan 28, 1977, and is recorded as one of the most important ornithological discoveries of the twentieth century, said Nicasio Viña, a researcher at the Eastern Center for Ecosystems and Biodiversity.
		The population of this bird is concentrated along the coast of North Carolina, in the United States, and migrates in October.
		Cuba becomes the winter home to a large colony of fl-capped petrels, but the number is difficult to determine with accuracy because they keep themselves hidden, thanks to their brown plumage and their custom of landing at sunset and leaving before sunrise.

		Other species of Gadfly Petrel about which little or nothing is know include the Black-capped Petrel (Pterodroma hasitata) which was quite common until until Western Europeans colonised the Caribbean, it was then rarely seen for 200 hundred years until a breeding colony of 2000 pairs was discovered on a island in Haiti in 1963.
		The Fiji Petrel (Pterodroma macgillivrayi) is only known from one specimen taken around 1870 and two specimens recently seen alive, and the Magenta Petrel (Pterodroma magentae)was until recently known only from one specimen collected in 1867, now (1995) there is a known breeding population of about 100.
		The Prions are a small groups of Petrels which were once known as whale birds, this is because they feed on the same marine plankton that baleen whales feed on and were thus likely to be good indicators of where the whales may be.

	Gadfly petrel Information
		The gadfly petrels are seabirds in the bird order Procellariiformes.
		These medium to large petrels feed on food items picked from the ocean surface.
		The short, sturdy bills of the Pterodroma species in this group, about 35 altogether, are adapted for soft prey taken at the surface; they have twisted intestines for digesting marine animals which have unusual biochemistries.

		Petrels breed once a year in large colonies on remote offshore or oceanic islands.

	Re: Bermuda Petrel replies (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		The bird was in worn plumage which probably enhanced the "oddness" of the back color but it was notably paler than a Black-capped; rather grayish-brown to brownish gray.
		It showed a darker "M" back pattern which was pretty evident as it approached the boat (from "6:00") but as it passed the left side, the "M" pattern seemed to "disappear." The upperparts looked nothing like a Black-capped petrel (and I've seen untold thousands of the latter).
		Whatever is going on, it is clear that this year can certainly be called the "Year of the Bermuda Petrel." Personally, I believe we've been overlooking them and, like Herald and Fea's before it, will soon be recognized as an every year bird.

		The Bermuda Petrel population numbers less than 200 individuals; since there have been several recent records of this species off the North Carolina coast, it is possible that a Bermuda Petrel could be carried inland by Hurricane Isabel.
		The species is extremely difficult to separate from the similar Black–capped Petrel but effort should be made, as any confirmed records of the species would be helpful in understanding the effect of hurricanes on this highly endangered species.
		The Black–capped Petrel population is thought to number less than 2,000, and it is a virtual certainty that individuals of this species will be displaced across inland areas in Isabel’s path.

		Perhaps he was wishing-wishing, but I suspect that was not the case at all, that he was simply summarizing a thoughtful experience.
		I have not seen such birds, and to me BC's are typically fl-capped (cap, not cowl) with bright white nape and rump area.
		As a particpant or trip leader on about 50 NC pelagics, I think I have a reasonable experience level to comment on the separation of fl- capped and bermuda petrels.

		Their range is chiefly in the seas of the Northern Hemisphere, coming southward more or less regularly to the coast of Peru and the island of St. Helena.
		It is uniform sooty, rather darker above, and belongs to that section of the genus characterized by a white rump patch; its length is eight inches.
		It is equally at home in the North Atlantic and North Pacific, its habits being very similar to those of the Stormy Petrel; in fact, it is the common "Mother Carey's Chicken" of the New England coast.

		This record is from May 1994 and concerned a bird photographed by Phyllis Franks off Port O'Connor on a pelagic trip.
		The bird had initially been identified as a Greater Shearwater, but examination of the photos by a number of pelagic experts in Texas and on the east coast confirmed the ID of the bird as a Black-capped Petrel.
		There is another well photographed Black-capped Petrel record off Port O'Connor that is still in circulation through the TBRC.

	Annotated List of the Seabirds of the World -- Bermuda Petrel
		Was once a relatively numerous breeder on Bermuda (estiimated 500,000 birds), however, the species was nearly driven to extinction by the introduction of mammals (pigs, dogs, cats and rats) during the 1500 and 1600's.
		When the island was first settled, Bermuda Petrels were widespread - a result of the lack of mammalian preditors including humans.
		The Bermuda Petrel (Cahow) Conservation Program monitors the breeding islets to protect against human disturbance or colonization by predators and competitor species (principally the White-tailed Tropic bird).

		The state of petrel taxonomy is nicely summarized by del Hoyo et al.
		While the Fulmars and Giant Petrels show significant size and plumage differences there are strong affinties in terms of diet and ecology.
		Not only are there several synonyms for most of the specific names now believed to have prior claims over others but, moreover, these names, through misinterpretation or misidentification, have become transposed from one species to the next in a manner which is bewildering if not altogether hopeless.
