Pictured above is a Black-capped Petrel (Pterodroma hasitata)  off the coast of Cape Hatteras, North Carolina, USA.   An international team of seabird experts has captured Black-capped Petrels for the first time.   Ten were banded and released with transmitters as part of an effort to prevent the extinction of the 'Little Devil', as this bird is known on its Caribbean nesting grounds.
