Observation details
First bird was a full adult that flew across the bow just off of Torishima - Quickly found more in the distance and once we started throwing out chum they came right in. Overall probably had 30-40 birds of carrying age classes with few all dark birds and mostly paler bodies and dark wings - also lots of pale birds with darker Bowles and caps - maybe female birds. Shot 100's of photos several of which were really stunning - an incredibly beautiful bird that just kept soaring past. In the afternoon we didn't bring too many more in with chumming and the weather started to get bad. No birds were seen anywhere away from Torishima.
