Abstract

While reviewing the seabird collection stored at Museo Argentino de Ciencias Naturales, we found a specimen of the Pink-footed Shearwater Puffinus creatopus that had been collected on May 1981 at Punta Conos, golfo San José, Chubut province, by G. Harris. Plumage and measurements agree with those of the species, allowing a straight and clear identification. This is the first record of the species for Argentina, and also for the Atlantic Ocean.
