Pink-footed Shearwater - Newport, OR Pelagic Trip 8-30-15
Thanks to Bob Archer for his help in properly IDing this as a Pink-footed rather than a Buller's. I was being lazy I guess, relying on my faulty memory of a Buller's I saw a year or two ago instead of doing my research before posting this. Buller's has much more white underneath with a much narrower, black trailing edge to the wings, which rules out this being a Buller's.
