Polynesian storm petrel
The Polynesian storm petrel is a species of seabird in the family Oceanitidae. It is placed in the monotypic genus Nesofregetta.
Markedly polymorphic, several subspecies were described, and light birds were even considered a species on their own. Not even subspecies are generally accepted today, however.
It is found in Chile, French Polynesia, Kiribati, New Caledonia, Vanuatu, possibly American Samoa, possibly Fiji, and possibly Samoa.
Its natural habitats are open seas, rocky shores, and sandy shores. It is threatened by introduced predators in its nesting areas.
