Observation details
A minimum of 3 dark birds that spent their time at the back of the boat, giving point-blank views. All in some state of wing molt, with extensive white in underwings and dark streaks on underwing coverts. Much discussion on Sooty/Short-tailed Shearwater -- my main takeaway is that looking at underwings is mandatory, and head/face pattern is very difficult to judge on some ambiguous birds, particularly when there is only one shearwater to look at.
