Detalles de la observación
*High count. Accurate estimate of many large rafts sitting on the water. Each flock was counted by 10's. Most flocks were sitting on the water, composed of ~50-200 birds, and we encountered about 20 flocks. Another ~500 shearwaters, again mostly Greats, were seen chasing a fishing boat and sitting on the water behind it. Large seabirds with stark white undersides contrasting with dark gray-brown backs and dark gray masked/capped heads. The boat captain said the number of birds was more than 5 times the total number of shearwaters he had seen for the entire rest of the year combined. We actually departed from watching humpback whales to cruising through shearwater flocks. What a spectacle.
