September 10th, 2005. Monterey Bay, CA.
Laysan Albatross Phoebastria immutabalis.

Perhaps the highlight of this particular ' Shearwater Journeys' trip, slightly unexpected in mid-September. Excellent and relatively prolonged looks.

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