These pictures were taken on 2/21/2003 on a pelagic trip out of Savanah, Georgia by Bob Zaremba. The following is an excerpt from the RBA transcript pertaning to the trip; "A pelagic birding trip went out of Savannah on 2/21/03 to about 30 miles offshore for birds on the middle shelf between the coast and Gulf Stream. The trip was organized and led by Giff Beaton. The highlights were 37 RAZORBILLS, 900-1000 RED PHALAROPES, 1 PEREGRINE FALCON and 6 small shearwaters, thought to be either AUDUBON'S or MANX SHEARWATERS. Transcription Note: Post-trip examination of photographs of these shearwaters by experts (Brian Patteson and David Sibley) have determined these birds to have been MANX SHEARWATERS."
