Observation details
Large, bulky, all-dark shearwater. Silvery flash to base of primaries on underwing. Bill all ivory (with black outlines), ruling out similar Procellaria. Chin rather extensively white, ruling out the distinctive New Zealand population. Flew into back of boat at 11:15, and sat on water for 45 minutes before taking off. Refound nearby at 12:30-12:45. Water temp 60.6 degrees F. 66.7 Fathoms. Many photos obtained.
