This just in from Jim Stasz who is back on dry land after a very successful pelagic trip out of Lewes, DE today. The list of species is a bit thin but they did manage to find their target bird. Jim reported Audubon's and Cory's Shearwater and lots of Wilson's Storm Petrels. Terns were absent as were other species of shearwater, along with a complete lack of jeagers. The highlight of the trip that everyone on board got to see was the WHITE-FACED STORM-PETREL. I am sure that pictures of the bird will be showing up on viewable websites in the next 24 hours. Congratualtions to everyone on board for this exciting find.
