Wilson's Storm-Petrels

Gulf Stream pelagic off Hatteras; NC

Wilson's Storm-Petrels, as expected, stayed with us most of the time. The 1st day in particular there would often be a 100 or more in the area behind the ship. The Patteson crew is very efficient at working a slick to keep the birds interested.

We had great looks at both Leach's and Band-rumped Storm-Petrel, but they never came in really close to the boat like this.
