Observation details
Spotted far to our north at Richmond Beach by Nathan W. then tracked south by Ryan M. at Carkeek. Picked up here by Eric H. and watched with him and Tim G. as the shearwater passed relatively close - it flew right by the green buoy and I think even just within it! Dark shearwater with relatively shorter bill and steeper forehead than Sooty. I didn’t ever get a good view of the underwing but photos of the head shape seem definitive. It arched up surprisingly high in the storm winds - very fun to watch today!
