One species, the Guadalupe Storm-petrel, is thought to have gone extinct; the New Zealand Storm-petrel was presumed extinct until rediscovered in 2003. The principal threats to storm-petrels are introduced species, particularly mammals, in their breeding colonies; many storm-petrels habitually nest on isolated mammal free islands and are unable to cope with predators like rats and feral cats.

The Guadalupe Storm-petrel has not been observed since 1906 and most authorities consider it extinct. The New Zealand Storm-petrel was also considered extinct for many years but was sighted again in 2003, though the population is likely to be very small. One species (the Ashy Storm-petrel) is listed as endangered by the IUCN due to a 42% decline over twenty years, and two other species are also listed as near threatened or worse. More

The Guadalupe Storm-petrel (Oceanodroma macrodactyla) is a small seabird of the storm-petrel family Hydrobatidae. It is apparently extinct. Description This species was almost indistinguishable from its relative, Leach's Storm-petrel. In the field, they could not be told apart except by their circannual rhythm. In the hand, the Guadalupe Storm-petrel could be distinguished by slightly larger size and the paler underwing coverts. More

Guadalupe Storm-Petrel is extinct. Bob Pitman and Bill Everett have surveyed all suitable habitat and have found no traces of storm-petrels. The detection of the Guadalupe Storm-Petrel is fairly easy. They search burrow entrances and smell for the distinctive musk odor emitted by these birds. An active burrow is detected by the nose! Leach's Storm Petrel still nests on Guadalupe Island. One population nests in the summer; another population nests in the winter. They alternate the use of the same burrows. More
