Bermuda was once known as the Isles of the Devils, named by frightened sailors after hearing the haunting nocturnal mating calls of the Bermuda petrel (4). This gadfly petrel has a brownish-black crown and nape, long, brownish-grey upperwings and tail, and white underwings edged with black on the underside. The bill is black and the legs are pink (2).
