Taken today at Robert Moses State Park, NY. Cloudy and foggy and a couple of hundred yards offshore.

Looks good to me -- in addition to the silvery underwings, these birds were close to shore on a day without much wind. There simply aren't too many procellarids that will do that.

Thanks, everyone. There were folks there with spotting scopes and the Sooty Shearwaters have been doing a flyby for a few days now. Hopefully, if the conditions are better they may still be there tomorrow.
