bpresby Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 First, I am so bummed I forgot my good camera on yesterday's fishing trip. I should have had 5 or 6 new species, but couldn't ID. So all I have these iPhone shots. When I tried to crop it was too tiled so I left as is since when I zoom I can see enough to attempt an ID. Here are my identifications, As always corrections, confirmations, and education always greatly appreciated. Shorebird? Petrel? Not a great show. Was sitting on a Kelp Paddy 45 miles off the coast and 35 miles south of Catalina Island. Black-vented Shearwater There were several species of Shearwaters, terns, gulls, etc. on a large school of bait fish. About 4 or 5 miles off the coast of Newport. These are the only shots I got of this species. Sorry for the poor shots. I will not forget the good camera next time (especially since fishing was poor) B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connor Cochrane Posted August 23, 2020 Share Posted August 23, 2020 Can’t help since I’m out fishing offshore in Northern California. This is the closest I’ve seen shearwaters from shore. Fishing’s pretty slow. I can’t really tell, but black vented seems like a good possibility for the second one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think these are unidentifiable. Sorry. Edited August 24, 2020 by Charlie Spencer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
