Leach's Storm-Petrel
Hydrobates leucorhous (Vieillot, LJP 1818)
Leach's storm petrel or Leach's petrel is a small seabird of the tubenose order. It is named after the British zoologist William Elford Leach. The scientific name is derived from Ancient Greek. Hydrobates is from hydōr "water", and batēs "walker", and leucorhous is from leukos, "white" and orrhos, "rump". It was formerly defined in the genus Oceanodroma before that genus was synonymized with Hydrobates. Source: Wikipedia

- Hydrobates leucorhous: breeds northeastern Atlantic from southern Iceland, Faroe Islands, central Norway, Ireland, and Scotland; northwestern Atlantic from southern Labrador to Massachusetts; northwestern Pacific from northeastern Russia and northeastern Japan to Alaska and northern and central Baja California (northwestern Mexico); also off southwestern Africa; non-breeders range to tropical Pacific Ocean mainly north of Tropic of Capricorn, and tropical Atlantic, reaching southern Africa in temperate southeastern Atlantic Ocean
- Hydrobates leucorhous leucorhous: breeds in the North Pacific, from northeastern Japan through the Kuril and Aleutian islands to southeastern Alaska, southward to central California (Farallon Islands); and in the North Atlantic from the northeastern USA (Massachusetts, Maine) and eastern Canada eastward to Iceland, the Faroe Islands, northern Scotland, and northwestern Norway; very small population also breeding (since 1995) on Dyer and Dassen Islands (Western Cape, South Africa; still extant?), and unsuccessful nesting attempted on Chatham Islands, New Zealand. winters primarily in central and eastern Pacific, southward to 27°S, and in the tropical Atlantic, especially in waters off West Africa, but southward to northeastern Brazil and South Africa
- Hydrobates leucorhous chapmani: Coronado and San Benito islands (northwestern Mexico)
