- Abstract
The article reports on the sightings at sea of 11 immature Northern Giant Petrels, Macronectes halli, off the central and southern Peruvian coast, including the northernmost sighting of this species off the port of Callao. All the sightings happened between August and December, and the band of a 2.5-year-old Northern Giant Petrel that was captured incidentally in a Iongline in northern Chilean waters was recovered. It was also suggested that the birds have been regular non-breeding visitors to the coast of southern and central Peru during the last decade.
