The Cape Verde storm petrel (Hydrobates jabejabe) is an oceangoing bird found in the Atlantic Ocean, especially around the islands of Cape Verde. It was at one time considered to be a subspecies of the band-rumped storm petrel, but is now considered to be a separate species by the International Ornithological Congress and other authorities.{{Cite web |url=http://www.uk400clubonline.co.uk/index.php?s=Oceanodroma+jabejabe |title=UK400 Club online.co.uk |access-date=2010-05-05 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141103173534/http://www.uk400clubonline.co.uk/index.php?s=Oceanodroma+jabejabe |archive-date=2014-11-03 |url-status=dead }}{{Cite web|url=http://www.rnbws.org.uk/news.php|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20090316131929/http://www.rnbws.org.uk/news.php|url-status=dead|title=Royal Naval Birdwatching Society (Viewed May 6, 2010)|archive-date=16 March 2009|access-date=10 March 2022}}{{Cite web|title=Petrels, albatrosses – IOC World Bird List|url=https://www.worldbirdnames.org/new/bow/petrels/|website=Worldbirdnames.org|access-date=2021-07-29|language=en-US}}
