The marauder


I joined a pelagic trip to Bodega Canyon and Cordell Bank today aboard the New Sea Angler.  It was a bit rough, but we made it out there thanks to Rick and saw some seabirds and marine mammals along the way. 

Above, a South Polar Skua (Stercorarius maccormicki) approaches the boat.  Note the overall dark coloration and the white wing markings.  The white markings are subtle when viewed from this angle, but I liked the head-on perspective.

More offshore highlights to come this week!

P.S. Happy Fall!
