Observation details
Large storm petrel showing warmer tones throughout. Bold buffy carpal bars extend all the way to the leading edge of the wing. Deep forked tail and small "V" shaped white rump patch, often showing a dark central vein. Slow and steady numbers from the time our slick was set till mid morning. While expected at this location and season, today's Leach's kept making appearances till mid morning allowing extended sunlit study. There was some variation in intensity and color of carpal bars on a few (more cool in tonality). The strong wind was reducing their acrobatic flight style and some Leach's would look like Band-rumped Storm Petrels in head on approach.
