- Typical depth: 0–5 m
- IUCN status: EN
A dark gadfly petrel that breeds on remote Pacific islands, the Henderson petrel snatches prey from the surface as it flies. Introduced rats on its nesting islands drove its numbers down, and clearing them has helped the seabirds recover, though it remains endangered.
