Observation details
Small storm petrel. White underneath with black and white underwings. Dark around the eye bordered in white. Long legs trailing behind body. The bird appeared glued to the surface heading into the wind only moving to bound through the water with it's legs in tell tale "pogo stick" fashion. Came in to the slick at 6:52am from the southwest. Detection at this depth continues to illustrate that this species seems to be more connected to water temps than any particular water depth.
