7 December 2024 - Sean Thornton, captain of the Telstar, sent me a photo
and video clearly showing a young Short-tailed Albatross: larger than
adjacent Black-footed, all dark brown plumage, huge pink bill. He was
running a fishing charter out to the upper Noyo Canyon area, only a few
miles from Noyo Harbor, Fort Bragg. Unfortunately the weather is turning
sour tonight, winds and seas coming up, so no chance of a chase boat
tomorrow.
