Why it matters
The Great-winged Petrel is a master of the open ocean, utilizing its distinctive long, soaring wings to traverse vast stretches of the Southern Hemisphere with minimal effort. Ornithologists and bird enthusiasts prize sightings of this species because its pelagic nature makes it notoriously difficult to observe outside of its remote breeding islands.
