Observation details
This is a new species for this location. A few “white-rumped” storm petrels were seen many times throughout the day by the various observers. We are counting only one on this list as we have photos. This bird was the nearly the same size as the nearby Least Storm-Petrels, with a similar deep wing-beat and direct flight. The very visible white rump extending in the wedge pattern almost to the end of the tail caused our decision to list this as wedge-rumped. Greg and Charity have photos.
