Observation details
Single bird resting on the water near Duck Cay that allowed me fairly close approach in my kayak. I initially thought it to be an Audubon's Shearwater (as they are by far the more common species in the area) but upon subsequent closer review, the larger size and build of the bird, darker wingtips and whitish band on hindneck and rump are all consistent with field marks of a Great Shearwater and the record was amended as such.
