Hi Peter,
A good resource for pelagic birds is the Helm Field Guide – Albatrosses, Petrels and Shearwaters of the World by Onley and Scofield. A website worth checking out is Ocean Wanders ( http://www.oceanwanderers.com/Seabird.Home.html), which also has a lot of information. Congrats on seeing Barau’s Petrel, and hope these help!
Cheers,
Jeremy
