Observation details

First of two shearwaters for the day! Seen flying quickly south, skimming low over the water, with quick flaps followed by long low glides. We noticed the white underneath, which is evident in Josiah’s picture. We attempted to follow it but it was moving very quickly heading south into San Juan waters.
