Collared petrel

The collared petrel (Pterodroma brevipes) is a species of seabird in the family Procellariidae.

It is sometimes regarded as a subspecies of Gould's petrel (P. leucoptera).

It nests on steep, forested slopes in a burrow or among tree roots.

It feeds in open seas and some disperse into the central Pacific outside the breeding season.

The population from Vanuatu was considered to be a new subspecies Pterodroma brevipes magnificens in 2010.
