September 10th, 2005. Off Monterey, California.
Sooty Shearwater Puffinus griseus.
We saw some unbelievable concentrations of Sooty Shearwaters on this trip. Even Debbie Shearwater commented that she hadn't seen such gatherings of Sooties since the late 1970s. We didn’t really attempt to count them but the numbers were certainly in the tens of thousands. A true spectacle.
