RARE BIRD for me also came to the pier this week. I have never seen this one. I stopped in my tracks and said, hang on, that's not a pigeon! This is a SOOTY SHEARWATER!!! This guy was far from home in migration time; he can travel up to 40,000 miles in a year! Another nifty fact is that he can dive over 150 feet deep 😳. Not just another bird, but a perfectly made diving machine!!! God is in the details ❤️❤️❤️. Another lifer I didn't know I had to get... lol
