Description

Short-tailed Shearwater (Puffinus tenuirostris) - bird -Pelagic Boat Trip - Leaders: Brian Sullivan, Brad Schram, Tom Edell - Sat. 19 Jan 2008 out of Avila, Port San Luis, CA - 2008 Morro Bay Winter Bird Festival - event publicity photo for use by the bird festival committee for future publicity, etc. morrobaybirdfestival.org/ is the official site; Publicity photos to be freely shared are to be posted to the Flickr Group at flickr.com/groups/morrobaybirdfestival/pool/ - photo by Michael "Mike" L. Baird bairdphotos.com www.birdfest.org/ Canon 5D handheld.

Bird expert and author Brad Schram, trip leader, says "Actually Mike, I believe this bird is a Short-tailed Shearwater. First, the small bill and steeply angled forehead; second, the pale throat contrasting with the body color; third, the feet seem to extend beyond the tail just fine for either probably; the lack of molt--all the Sooties we saw were molting (this latter is only indicative, not diagnostic). Now--if the wing lining brightness is accurate, your bird is indeed a Sooty--but I think it's a product of Photoshop contrast enhancement. My Short-tail photos have an identical underwing pattern with this bird--just soft gray instead of this bright." Thanks Brad!
