Подробности наблюдения
***First island record since 1887. Found by Oscar Johnson from the lighthouse and seen by all island residents. Watched for ~20 minutes between 13:10 - 13:30 flying around about half way to Mid Farallon, between about 1.5-3 miles to the north of SEFI. Initially seen behind a fishing boat, and then slowly heading to the north. A very large dark albatross, with a nearly solidly dark chocolate brown plumage. Very long wings (for a Phoebastria) held very straight, and largely below horizontal when flapping, which it did only occasionally. Very large bright pink bill evident at a distance. Small white patchs just proximal to the wingtips and a pale patch evident on the rump, possibly indicating a bird a few years old. Full details to the CBRC.
