Habitat:
This species is marine and highly pelagic, rarely approaching land except at colonies. Little is known about its diet, though squid and crustaceans have been recorded as prey. The breeding season is variable depending on locality, forming loose colonies on offshore islands, occupying cliffs or slopes with some vegetation (del Hoyo et al. 1992).
Range:
The Kermadec Petrel ranges across the southern Pacific, from Lord Howe Island (Australia) and the Kermadec Islands (New Zealand) in the west to San Ambrosio Island (Chile) in the east. Outside the breeding season it ranges over much of the tropical and subtropical Pacific, occurring in the north Pacific mainly between November and January (del Hoyo et al. 1992).
