    Se presentan registros de un individuo de Halcón Peregrino (Falco peregrinus) cazando varios individuos de Paiño Común (Oceanites oceanicus) y de Petrel Damero (Daption capense) desde un buque pesquero en aguas del Mar Argentino. A pesar de estar ampliamente distribuido en la Patagonia argentina, no hay evidencias previas de la presencia de esta especie en el Mar Argentino cazando aves marinas pelágicas. Se discute el uso de los buques pesqueros como plataformas por parte de individuos de esta especie.We present records of an individual of the Peregrine Falcon (Falco peregrinus) preying on several individuals of the Wilson’s Storm-Petrel (Oceanites oceanicus) and the Pintado Petrel (Daption capense) from a fishing vessel in the Argentine Sea. Although this species is widely distributed over Argentine Patagonia, there is no previous evidence of the presence of this species hunting pelagic seabirds in the Argentine Sea. The use of fishing vessels as platform for individuals of this species is discussed
