Observation details

Possibly photos but unsure. A medium-sized shearwater that spawned <50 yards from the boat. Dark brownish-black above, lightish below but with distinct black line running diagonally near the axillaries, slight capped appearance given from white neck/almost collar, and thin white band at base of tail. Bombed away fast into glare, but seemed like most people at least got a glimpse.
