Sooty Shearwater

Sooty Shearwater Ardenna grisea
Uncommon visitor, April through October, in Offshore and Nearshore regions.
Habitat: Open ocean regularly to within 3 miles of shore.
Best locations: San Diego pelagic trips, Point La Jolla.
Note: Before 1982 this was the most abundant seabird off San Diego County with daily boat counts in the hundreds or thousands. By the 1990's daily boat counts averaged under 10 (Unitt 2004). Counts in 2014 and 2016 (from boats and shore) were again in the hundreds several times.
