Subject: [BIRDCHAT] Pacific Breeding Manx Shearwaters?

Hi all,

A Manx Shearwater was spotted on a southern California pelagic trip over the
weekend. This was a second LA County record. In a discussion of bird's
provenance, the common theory that the bird migrated south in the Atlantic
then came around Cape Horn and migrated up "the wrong ocean" was put forth.
One participant mentioned hearing that a breeding colony of Manx Shearwaters
had been located in British Columbia in the past year. Does anyone have any
information about that?

Pictures of the bird are posted on my website.
