Apparently the first documentation of a Scopoli's Shearwater (C. d. diomedea) for Maryland (8/28/2004). This is the Mediterranean form of Cory's Shearwater, which is a strong candidate for a future split. Note how the white extends into the dark primaries and its smaller bill. Photo by Bill Hubick.
