Beck's Petrel
Pseudobulweria becki
Beck’s petrel, Pseudobulweria becki, is a small species of shearwater. Its specific epithet commemorates American ornithologist Rollo Beck. It is believed to nest on small islands with tall mountains around Melanesia. Described in 1928, and long known from only two specimens, sightings and collections in the 2000s confirmed the birds still existed, but are considered critically endangered by the IUCN.
