Highlights
Reproducción de la golondrina de mar negra (Oceanodroma markhami) en el desierto del norte de Chile
Storm-petrels are diverse and widespread in the Pacific Ocean. Their breeding grounds are poorly known because they typically nest on islands, their nests are in burrows and crevices, and usually they attend their nests at night
A few nesting sites on the Paracas peninsula in Perú have been documented (Jahncke 1993, García-Godos et al 2002) and this species is considered endemic to Perú (Croxall et al 2012)
