The adult White-capped Albatross was found in this same area, only closer to shore—about 8 miles off Point Arena. Upwelling seems to be good in this area, at least in some years. Sophie also reported many FORK-TAILED STORM-PETRELS offshore Bodega Bay within the past week, along with one HORNED PUFFIN. Patches of krill were also found. Let's hope this portends for a productive fall season!
