There are about 100,000 Bonin Petrels nests on Midway. Like the Tropicbirds they spend their entire lives at sea except to breed and nest on oceanic islands such as Midway. They nest in burrows and one usually doesn't get good looks at the chicks. This one I found under the concrete debris while I was photographing the Red-tailed Tropicbirds and it's a little larger than a baseball.
