Observation details

1-3 birds. The photographed bird is the initial bird I saw from the pavilion and called a Wilson's Storm-Petrel on BICNJ. Later, Scott Barnes alerted me of a Leach's Storm-Petrel from Spinnaker Drive (Raritan Reach Road parking lot) I saw from the promenade flying southeast close to shore towards RBWP. Emma picked out another one from the Raritan Reach Road parking lot to the southeast. The photographs appear to show long, arched wings as opposed to shorter unarched wings of WISP. Notched tail may be perceptible in a couple photos.
