The Oceanitinae are mostly found in southern waters (though the Wilson's Storm Petrel regularly migrates into the northern hemisphere); there are 7 species in 5 genera.

It can be distinguished from Leach's Storm Petrel and Wilson's Storm Petrel by its smaller size, different rump pattern and flight behaviour.

Wilson's Storm Petrels and Black-bellied Storm Petrels nest in the ruins of the whaling station in Whalers Bay.

Blue-eyed Shags, Wilson's Storm Petrels and Antarctic Terns are also a common sight as they feed in the plankton-rich upwellings in front of the glaciers.

Wilson's Storm Petrel (Oceanites oceanicus), also known as Wilson's Petrel, is a small seabird of the storm petrel family.

Widespread throughout its large range, Wilson's Storm Petrel is evaluated as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.

Exceptions are the Antarctic Skua, the Antarctic Petrel, the Snow Petrel, and the Wilson's Storm Petrel.

Other birds nesting at the site include Brown Skuas, Southern Giant Petrels, Wilson's Storm Petrels, Antarctic Terns and Kelp Gulls.

A number of other petrel species undertake trans-equatorial migrations, including the Wilson's Storm Petrel and the Providence Petrel, but no albatrosses cross the equator, as they rely on wind assisted flight.

The most widely travelled migrant is the Wilson's Storm Petrel which after breeding in Antarctica and the subantarctic islands regularly crosses the equator to the waters of the north Pacific and Atlantic.

They are among the most southerly distributed of all seabirds, as are the Emperor Penguin, the South Polar Skua, the Wilson's Storm Petrel, the Snow Petrel, and the Antarctic Petrel.

Several species of petrels including all-white snow petrels Pagadroma nivea, mottled pintado petrels Daption capensis and tiny Wilson's storm petrels Oceanites oceanica breed in cavities on scree slopes and under rocks.

Several species are among the most common of seabirds, including Wilson's Storm Petrel (an estimated 12 to 30 million individuals) and the Short-tailed Shearwater (23 million individuals); while the total population of some other species is a few hundred.

The group contains breeding colonies of Adélie Penguins, Cape Petrels, Snow Petrels, Southern Giant Petrels (which breed nowhere else in the region), Wilson's Storm Petrels and Antarctic Skuas.

The plumage of the Oceanitinae is dark with white underparts (with the exception of the Wilson's Storm Petrel) All but two of the Hydrobatinae are mostly dark in colour with varying amounts of white on the rump.

Another time, a short distance from the boat, two Wilson's petrels skimmed by, feet skipping on the water.

It is strictly pelagic outside the breeding season, and this, together with its remote breeding sites, makes Wilson's Petrel a difficult bird to see from land.

Brown and McCormick's skuas and Wilson's petrels fly as far as temperate latitudes of the northern hemisphere.

They are the Great Shearwater, Sooty Shearwater and the rare Wilson's Petrel.

A few seabirds, such as Wilson's Petrel and Great Shearwater, breed in the southern hemisphere and migrate north in the southern winter.

Wilson's Storm-petrel (Oceanites oceanicus), also known as Wilson's Petrel, is a small seabird of the storm-petrel family .

It consists of brown granodiorite and supports a relatively luxuriant vegetation of lichens and mosses, along with nests of Snow Petrels and Wilson's Petrels.

The bergs were spotted with seals and penguins, and Wilson's petrels skimmed the wake behind the other Humber, the white bar on their tails twirling gracefully over the ruffled water as if they were dancing on the hem of a slip.

In its floor is an attractive lake containing red and green algae, and in the surrounding rock walls there are nests of Wilson's Petrels, skuas, and Snow Petrels, as well as running streams and growths of moss and lichens.
