Spotted
The Ringed Storm-Petrel is a rarely seen, enigmatic seabird with distinctive white underparts and a dark breast band. It is known from the waters off South America.
Where to spot
Known only from a few specimens collected off the coast of Peru and Chile, and rare at-sea sightings. Its breeding grounds are unknown.
How to spot
Identification is challenging due to its rarity. Look for its dark upperparts, white underparts, and a distinct dark band across the breast. Requires dedicated pelagic expeditions in the Humboldt Current region off western South America.
When to spot
Sightings are highly opportunistic and rare, potentially year-round in its assumed marine range. No clear seasonal patterns due to lack of data.
