Very little is known about this species of petrel. It occurs in the South Pacific, nesting on rocky islets and cliffs off tropical oceanic islands in the Austral, Tuamotu, and Pitcairn island groups. The bird has been recorded off the coast of the Hawaiian Islands and well off the Pacific Coast of the United States. ==References== * "National Geographic" ''Field Guide to the Birds of North'' ''America'' ISBN 0-7922-6877-6 *'' Seabirds, an Identification Guide'' by Peter Harrison, (1983) ISBN 0-7470-1410-8 *''Handbook of the Birds of the World Vol 1'', Josep del Hoyo editor, ISBN 84-87334-10-5 *"National Audubon Society" ''The Sibley Guide to Birds'', by David Allen Sibley, ISBN 0-679-45122-6 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Murphy's petrel」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
