Observation details
Resting on the water in a flock of STAL/SOSH SW of Cape St. Elias. I noticed the first when the flock took off from the water and its black and white patterning was clearly different from the surrounding shearwaters. We tracked it as it flew away and then turned back toward the ship before settling back on the water along with other shearwaters. At this point we noticed the two other Manx in the same flock. Small shearwaters, smaller than adjacent short-tailed, black above, white below with strong contrast at edges. White undertail coverts and limited white on the sides of the rump.
