Halobaena caerulea (VAG):occurs in Southern Seas, on subantarctic islands from Diego Ramírez, Cape Horn and South Georgia Island east through islands on the Indian Ocean to Macquarie Island (Carboneras, 1992; Grantsau, 2010). Even though they can forage over 1,000 km from breeding sites, adults are probably sedentary, while the young are more dispersive (Carboneras, 1992). It occurs occasionally on the coast of the southern and southeastern regions of Brazil, and there are records for BA, RJ and RS (Sick, 1997; Fonseca et al., 2001; Grantsau, 2010; MNRJ [RJ, 1984, July]).
