Fork-tailed Storm-Petrel, Santa Cruz Basin, CA - 15 July 2018
Observation details
The Fork-tailed Storm-Petrel was seen by a few people and photographed as it lifted up with the large Black and Ashy Storm-Petrel flock that we encountered at approximately 12:39. Pictured with Black Storm-Petrels in the included photo, this storm-petrel was pale gray on the rump and back with a forked tail and pale carpal bars on dark grayish wings. Although obstructed by the wing in the photo, traces of the dark smudge around the eye can be seen.
