Petrel Black Storm- (oceanodroma melania) adult, near endemic – Mexico

We had to take a small motor boat several miles off shore to spot this Black Storm Petrel along with Least Storm Petrel, Pink-Footed Shearwater and Galapagos Sheawater.   Taking this photo in a rough sea and moving motor boat was quite a challenge.
