The Black-capped Petrel (Pterodroma hasitata) is a seabird found primarily in the western Atlantic Ocean. It is known for its distinctive black cap on the head and white underparts, making it easily recognizable. These birds are often seen gliding over the ocean, feeding on fish and squid by diving into the water. Breeding occurs on remote islands, particularly in the Caribbean, where they nest in burrows. The species is considered vulnerable due to habitat loss and predation by introduced species. Conservation efforts are underway to protect their nesting sites and ensure the survival of this unique seabird.
