Introduction


The only record of this deepwater pelagic species is a single amazing bird that was recovered after striking a house at Lillooet in the southern interior. Although alive when first discovered, the individual died the following day. This bird was presumably blown inland during a severe westward-moving storm that had swept across the Pacific Northwest several days earlier.
