Detalles de la observación

*Sweet! If only all Procellariformes presented themselves in the water and visible from shore. I first noticed this bird when I came back to the shoreline, spying this oddly shaped dark lump near the ice. Struck me as Shearwater-like from the get-go, and I started running down the coast to get better views. When I reached Ezra, he told me he had been photographing a Shearwater for sometime, which was reassuring for my distant ID. All dark Ardenna with short wing protection, with STSH being the only species to fit this mold. It sat next to a RTLO for awhile, but by the time we got back to the main group, it had disappeared. We never saw it shear water so where it went is a go end best guess.
