The remains of 44 black-winged petrels killed by feral cats on Raoul Island in the Kermadecs. Cats are a major pest on Raoul and were responsible for the severe depletion of the formerly teeming seabird colonies on the island. Fortunately, most of these birds, including the black--winged petrel, have substantial breeding colonies on other, pest-free, islands in the Kermadec group.
