A lone Cory's Shearwater caught mid-flight, gliding smoothly just above the surface of the textured blue sea.
A tale of two continents! 🌍 Got my Cory's Shearwater lifer in April among hundreds at their Azores breeding grounds. Fast forward to August: looking for Maine puffins, and this solo non-breeder glides by! 🌊🦅

Shy Albatross expressing its opinion about the food we were serving off the back of the boat. 😛 Members of the Thalassarche genus are also called mollymawks... the next size of albatross down from the great #albatrosses (Diomedea genus). #BirdingTasmania #BirdingAustralia #seabirds #pelagicbirding
From last month's pelagic trip off the coast of Tasmania... Shy Albatross (Thalassarche cauta) #BirdingTasmania #BirdingAustralia #albatrosses #seabirds #pelagicbirding
The Silver Gulls may not stand a chance, but the Giant Petrels are big and strong enough to take on the #albatrosses for their share of the fish guts. 😋 #pelagicbirding #BirdingTasmania #BirdingAustralia #seabirds #albatrosses #giantpetrels
Shy Albatross bum-rushing the boat, determined to get its share of the chum, while a Silver Gull looks on. 😄 #BirdingTasmania #BirdingAustralia #albatrosses #seabirds #pelagicbirding
I'll share a few more images of the Shy #Albatrosses on our pelagic trip because they are just so darn photogenic. 😃 #BirdingTasmania #BirdingAustralia #seabirds #pelagicbirding

A grey rotund seabird with a pale spot above the eye and pale base of the lower mandible.
It's #worldseabirdday and I'm reminded of my first encounter with a Cassin's Auklet on a pelagic boat trip out of Tofino, BC many years ago. This confiding little alcid allowed me to take a close up photo, which is the feature image on the famous Merlin Bird ID app! #seabirds #pelagicbirding

Have you ever seen a gannet prey on a dovekie? I saw a second cycle type bird today do a shallow diagonal dive and come up with one and then quickly swallow it. Shocked me, but maybe it’s less unusual than I might think?
