Formerly bred in the mountains of eastern Molokai, and some isolated detections of petrels flying inland at night indicate that it may still breed there.\u00a0 Subfossil remains indicate prehistorical breeding on Oahu.<\/p>

Nonbreeding.<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0 The Hawaiian Petrel\u2019s range at sea encompasses much of the North Pacific north and east of Hawaii.\u00a0 There are records at all times of year in offshore waters from the Queen Charlotte Islands south to Baja California.<\/p>

During the breeding season, it is often found at sea near the main Hawaiian Islands, including southward (by approximately 100-200 miles, based on reports from vessels in transit to or from Kiribati).\u00a0 Research using satellite telemetry indicates that some breeding birds regularly commute north to the Aleutian Islands.<\/p>

There are few field observations west of the main Hawaiian Islands, but satellite telemetry studies indicate that it wanders across the western Pacific at least as far as the Mariana Islands and presumably farther.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
