  1. Streaked Shearwater - San Mateo County LINK
    DATE: Oct 24, 2020 @ 10:08pm, 3 year(s) ago
    Hello folks More details tomorrow, when we can get better photos uploaded. However, a few folks on the boat today saw a Streaked Shearwater south of the Pioneer Canyon in San Mateo county. The odd bird was spotted first by Peter Pyle, from the bow of the boat. It was in view for a short while before disappearing, we looked for some time but could not re-find. The bird was similar in size to a Pink-footed Shearwater, but had strikingly pale underwings. As well, the body coloration was gray toned, and the face was pale. It was distant and only poor photos were managed. Ian Davies has better photos that will be uploaded once he is back at his computer. There appeared to be white on the rump/uppertail coverts that could be seen. Here are my poor photos. https://ebird.org/checklist/S75367135 More details tomorrow I hope. Perhaps others will have photos of the bird apart from Ian. Noting that we could not re-find immediately after seeing the bird, the chances of re-finding it are very low. But if there is enough interest in trying to look for it in the same general area, we do have a good weather window on Tuesday or Wednesday. Let me know, and we can see if this is feasible. Good birding! Alvaro Alvaro Jaramillo alvaro@... www.alvarosadventures.com
