## Storm petrels

**Order**: [Procellariiformes](/source/Procellariiformes) **Family**: [Hydrobatidae](/source/Hydrobatidae)

The storm-petrels are the smallest seabirds, relatives of the petrels, feeding on planktonic crustaceans and small fish picked from the surface, typically while hovering. Their flight is fluttering and sometimes bat-like.

## Diving petrels

**Order**: [Procellariiformes](/source/Procellariiformes) **Family**: [Pelecanoididae](/source/Pelecanoididae)

The diving-petrels are relatives of the petrels distinguishable only by small differences in plumage and bill construction. They feed on plankton by pursuit diving.
