I thought the info, about geo-location, showing that these amazing birds do
indeed come this far north, as mentioned in the ABA blog mentioned in this
thread, was fascinating. As an aside, I recently read a great book, that I
can recommend to anyone interested in bird conservation and Bermuda
Petrels, called
Rare Birds: The Extraordinary Tale of the Bermuda Petrel and the Man Who
Brought It Back from Extinction by Elizabeth Gehrman. It tells the story of
the rediscovery of these birds some 300 years after they had thought to be
extinct, and of the singular efforts of David Wingate to conserve and save
the species. David was an incredible man, and amongst other things had a
special relationship with NS, partly through his friendship with several NS
naturalists and birders. I remember seeing a wonderful talk he gave in
Halifax about Bermuda Petrels in the early 1980s.

I can also recommend browsing this website -
http://www.wildlifetracking.org/ , particularly the sections on seabirds
that are seen, e.g. off Brier Island, for more fascinating info. on seabird
movements, as well as the Black-capped Petrel links mentioned in the ABA
blog..
