Hello birders,
We had a productive afternoon with plenty of pink-footed shearwaters, and a new shearwater: Buller’s. We sighted multiple birds. We also enjoyed more common dolphin with shearwaters associated with them.
The finale was a large area of jumping, large bluefin tuna with lots of shearwaters and a masked booby that came by the boat so everyone could see it! It was an impressive show of birds and tuna. We added a few northern fulmars to the list and a single distant black-footed albatross.
We are headed to San Miguel island for the night.
