These Murphy's Petrel (Pterodroma ultima) images
by Matt Matthiessen are of one of two individuals seen on the May 11, 2003
Shearwater Journeys' trip from Fort Bragg, CA. Interestingly, a single
Murphy's Petrel was also found on the May 11, 2001 trip from Bodega Bay.
Murphy's Petrel is thought to be a regular spring visitor offshore
California, although it may not be present every year. All three of these
records were found on "regular" Shearwater Journeys' trips, not
long-distance trips.
