  11. Tristram's Storm-Petrel

    Number observed:  1

    Details

    Originally entered as Leach's Storm-Petrel based on likelihood, but ID reconsidered after further consultation. JRD had poor impressions of size/flight/shape due to camera-wielding, but DL and DK caught on to impression of a larger, darker storm-petrel. Viewed for only a few seconds. A large storm-petrel with deeply forked tail, very bold pale bands on wings and a similarly-colored rump (not white or dark) that was much thinner than Leach's. Head darker brown than body/mantle, giving hooded appearance. I
