Description:The Galapagos Petrel (Pterodroma phaeopygia) has a limited range in the Eastern Tropical Pacific with breeding sites centered around the Galapagos Islands. It is an infrequent visitor to the waters of Central America. This report from January 2024, the second with photos, marks a new northernmost record for this species. We also clarify the northernmost extent of the species’ range, which has likely been misclassified.
