Band-rumped Storm-Petrel

Pickwick Lake; Hardin Co. TN

We had 2 Storm-Petrels, one of which was definitely a Band-rumped,with the other most likely as well (though with our views of the 2nd Wilson's couldnt' be eliminated).

Jeff 1st picked this bird up, and we had great views of it at one point when it came by within 200 feet of the shore. The short legs and gliding, shearwater type flight was evident.
