	Annotated List of the Seabirds of the World -- Chatham Island Taiko or Magenta Petrel
		Independently, David Crockett, a New Zealander who had begun studying seabird bones as a schoolboy and was familiar with the skeletons of petrels from the Chathams, recieved a letter in 1952 from Mr H. Blythe, a Chatham Island farmer describing the nesting of Taiko on his property.
		They resembled the sketches of the Magenta Petrel specimen but no captures were made.
		Separated from Soft-plumaged Petrel by larger size, heavier bill, lack of strong 'M' marking, darker upperparts and on the undersides of the wings, shows a dark (rather than light) leading edge to inner portion of the wing.

	Magenta Petrel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Magenta Petrel or Chatham Island Taiko (Pterodroma magentae) is a small seabird in the gadfly petrel genus, Pterodroma.
		The first specimen of the Magenta Petrel was collected from His Italian Majesty's ship "Magenta" on July 22 1867 in the South Pacific ocean midway between New Zealand and South America.
		This medium-sized petrel has a brownish-grey back and wings, the undersides of the wings are brown and the belly is white.

	The Shearwaters (The Procellariidae)
		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.

	Chatham Island Taiko, Pterodroma magentae (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
		In 1867 the Italian research ship, Magenta, was sailing 800km east of the Chatham Islands, near the Tubai Islands, when a beautiful white-breasted bird flew by.
		However, it wasn’t until 5 years later on New Year’s day in 1978 that two birds were actually caught and banded when with measurements and photographs Crockett was able to scientifically prove that the magenta petrel and Chatham Island Taiko were indeed the same species.
		Later Crockett established that the petrel had once been one of the more common birds on the Chathams where it was known as the Taiko.

		Magenta Petrel Pterodroma magentae is one of the world’s rarest seabirds, with the total population recently estimated at only 100-150 individuals (Taylor 2000).
		Magenta Petrel is a large, well-built Pterodroma petrel.
		Its strong, wheeling flight and overall shape are quite similar to Great-winged Petrel P macroptera and White-headed Petrel P lessoni but with the bill not as stout as on the former species.

		DOC technical support officer for the Chatham Islands Dave Houston said the world population of Chatham petrels had been confined to Rangatira Island, a small island off the coast of Pitt Island until efforts to create a second breeding population began in 2002.
		The population of Chatham petrels is estimated at around 1000 birds and the establishment of a second breeding site will increase the security of the species.
		The Chatham petrel chick is likely to return to breed when around three to five years of age, and the taiko chicks will not start to breed until six to nine years of age.

	Wrybill Birding Tours, NZ: Could the New Zealand Storm-petrel still exist?
		A strangely striped storm petrel was collected off Samoa by the American Exploring Expedition in 1842 and became known as ‘Pealea lineata’.
		Murphy and Snyder (1952) considered this specimen to be an aberrant BBSP, and that the three New Zealand specimens (which had previously been assigned to this form) were of a different species.
		Most relevant to New Zealand was the rediscovery, in 1979, of the Magenta Petrel (Chatham Island Taiko), Pterodroma magentae, which had not been seen since the collection of the original specimen in 1867.

		The rediscovery of the supposedly extinct New Zealand storm-petrel, Oceanites maorianus, by myself and Sav Saville in January 2003, is probably one of the biggest New Zealand bird stories of the last decade or so (more information can be found here).
		Not since the rediscovery of the Chatham Island taiko, Pterodroma magentae, (Magenta petrel) in 1977 by David Crockett and others, has the New Zealand ornithological world been rocked by such an event!
		Although the rediscovery has not been officially accepted by the OSNZ, it is expected that this will occur shortly, with the recent capture of birds in the Hauraki Gulf in Jan 2006.

		Landings are not permitted so we’ll zodiac cruise along the sheltered eastern shore, where we should see the endemic Snares Crested Penguins, Tomtit, and Fernbird.
		The Subantarctic Convergence Zone is usually close to the area through which we sail, so the birdlife should reflect this as we get closer to Macquarie Island.
