	Jamaica Petrel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Jamaica Petrel (Pterodroma caribbaea) is (or was) a small seabird in the gadfly petrel genus, Pterodroma.
		It is related to the Black-capped Petrel P.
		However, it cannot yet be classified as extinct because nocturnal petrels are notoriously difficult to record, and it may conceivably occur on Dominica and Guadeloupe.

	jamaica parrot project report
		Jamaica, the third largest island in the Caribbean, is recognized globally as an important region of biodiversity.
		In 1995 the Jamaica Parrot Project was established to: (1) more accurately delineate the ranges of both species of Amazona parrots and census populations and (2) collect baseline natural history information on breeding biology and identify factors limiting reproductive success.
		Discounting neonate mortality of the last-hatched chick, which was observed in nearly all instances of clutches of four, seven nestlings died of unknown causes late in the breeding cycle and one disappeared to predation.

	Gadfly petrel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		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.

	JAMAICA PETREL, Pterodroma caribbaea (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		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).
		Carte (1866) was aware of the species in the north-eastern end of Jamaica, and the John Crow Mountains, adjacent to the Blue Mountains, were known to harbour birds at the end of the nineteenth century (see Scott 1891-1893); Bourne (1965) reported that "birds are still said to call at night" in the John Crow Mountains.
		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.

	Jamaica Gleaner - Caribbean birds at risk - Thursday \| June 8, 2000
		Yet in Jamaica, we are still relatively fortunate as our island has 47 endemic species and sub-species, the highest number in the region, most of which are not as yet considered threatened.
		The last mention of a previously common Jamaican endemic ground nesting seabird, the Jamaica Petrel (or Blue Mountain Duck), was in 1891 when mongoose were found in its empty nesting borrows.
		The newest threat to the birds of Jamaica has come from an invasive bird species, the Shiny Cowbird which is a brood parasite.

		In July 1977 fishermen reported petrels nesting in the Cabo Falso cliffs (17°47íN 71°41íW) on the Península de Barahona, although this was not proved (Wiley and Ottenwalder 1990).

	Audubon WatchList - Black-capped Petrel
		The collar, and their conspicuous white rump can help to separate them from the similar looking Bermuda Petrel, and Jamaica Petrel (now believed to be extinct).
		Black-capped Petrels live at sea during the non-breeding season, returning to their nesting sites from December to April, although birds have been reported at these locations as early as August.
		Black-capped Petrels are extremely vulnerable due to their small population size and restricted breeding range.

		As signified by their name, these seabirds have a fl "cap" and white collar behind the head (although this field mark is missing in some birds).
		Their main diet is believed to consist of small squid and fish, which they snatch from the surface of the water.
		● Breeding and nesting: Black-capped Petrel: One white egg is laid in an excavated burrow in the soil or rocky crevice on an isolated mountain ridge.

	Where do you want to go birding in Jamaica today?
		The best time for bird watching in Jamaica is early morning or late afternoon though there are quite a few known birding spots in Jamaica.
		Being an island, Jamaica has fewer species than an equal area on the mainland, but there is much of interest, and it has more endemic species than Hispaniola or Cuba, which are 7 and 10 times the size.
		Far from the hustle and crowds of tourists, Sonrise is one of Jamaica's first true Eco-Tourism developments on one of the last unspoiled untouched stretches of Jamaica's north coast.

	Annotated List of the Seabirds of the World -Fulmars, Petrels and allies
		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.

	IUCN Red List of Threatened Species: Pterodroma caribbaea
		This species was last collected in 1879, after a drastic decline in numbers through the 19th century, presumed to have resulted from the effects of introduced rats and mongooses.
		It was searched for without success during 1996¿2000, but it cannot yet be presumed to be Extinct because nocturnal petrels are notoriously difficult to record, and it may conceivably occur on Dominica and Guadeloupe.
		Feeding is expected to be crepuscular and nocturnal in oceanic waters, matching the habits of the closely related Black-capped Petrel P.
