Ashy Storm-Petrel, Offshore Southern Orange County, CA - 5 Aug 2022
Observation details
Initially thought to be a dark-rumped Leach's, but photos revealed a pale underwing stripe. It did not look very grayish in the field, but worn birds at this time of year are typically browner. After seeing a few Black Storm-Petrels, this bird was smaller with shallower wingbeats. The flight was more erratic like a Leach's, but that could have been due to the wind that was picking up offshore.
