September 10th, 2005. Monterey Bay, CA.
Flesh-footed Shearwater Puffinus carneipes. (3)

Terrible shots but difficult conditions with some heavy swell that day. About three birds seen, all of them rather brief.

Images taken through Canon Powershot A95 using Leica 10 x 42 binoculars.

This shot has been enhanced for light as the shadow from the eye cup of the bins was obscuring some of the bird.
Therefore, the pale areas on the upper parts appear much exaggerated than in life.
