# The gadfly petrels of the Juan Fernández Islands

Hadoram Shirihai (Shoham, Israel) and colleagues have published in the journal [*Dutch Birding*](http://www.dutchbirding.nl/journal.php?id=268) on the endemic gadfly petrels of Chile’s [Juan Fernández Islands](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juan_Fern%C3%A1ndez_Islands).

 “This paper details the special avifauna of Juan Fernández archipelago, off Chile.  We visited the archipelago from 3 to 15 March 2013, mainly to study the local gadfly petrels *Pterodroma *at sea, namely Juan Fernández Petrel *P. externa*, Stejneger’s Petrel *P. longirostris* and De Filippi’s Petrel *P. defilippiana*.”
