Observation details

Very slimly built, dark/cold-toned Caolectris with relatively thin bill. Poor photos as it flew away from the ship in terrible light at 08:19. I cannot reconcile this bird with Cory's Shearwater, and suspect C.edwardsii, though observation conditions and documentation were and are not ideal. 40.1708600, -69.1420780
