Seabirds, especially pelagic species, are more threatened than most other bird groups with similar numbers of species. Among them,Storm-petrels (family Hydrobatidae) are diverse and widespread in the Pacific Ocean.Markham’s Storm-Petrel (Oceanodroma markhami) is common in the Humboldt Current, including pelagic and coastal waters of Ecuador, Peru, and Chile between 18°N and 30°S.<\/p>\n

Only a couple of nesting sites in Perú and now one in Chile have been documented, and therefore this species is considered endemic to the Chile-Perú Pacific Slope. It is listed as Data Deficient by the IUCN because data on overall numbers, trends, and threats are not known.<\/p>\n

The first record of reproduction of Markham’s Storm-Petrel in Chile, where it is categorized as endangered, was recently described at a Chilean journal called Revista Chilena de Historia Natural (Chilean Journal of Natural History).<\/p>\n
