A staggering find for seabirders aboard the Helen H. on the third BBC Extreme pelagic trip of the season. Many thanks to Scott Surner of Belchertown for allowing me to share these images on the keenbirding website. Possibly the first live bird to be photographically documented in North America. What a fantastic record!!
