Thanks Joshua! I was surprised at how many birds there were just out there in the middle of the ocean. I saw gannets, a brown booby, and a couple others that we passed too quickly to get photos of. Maybe next time!

Very nice find! Pelagic birding is the last frontier for most birders! You have a leg up.

Thanks Ashley! And thanks Desmond for the confirmation!

Awesome bird!

I would say it's a great shearwater.
