This immature Short-tailed Albatross was (first spotted by Jerry White) found on a Mendocino Coast Audubon Society pelagic trip on 15 May 2011. This bird was found only 6 miles offshore of Fort Bragg around 0905 and came in to investigate the Menhadden Oil drip that also attracted over 100 Black-footed Albatrosses. This is only Mendocino countie's 2nd record and first record for pelagic boat trip in Northwestern California. Ron LeValley is giving the commentary in the background.

Congrats on the Short-tailed Albatross.
Might note though that Ron's pronounciation of Torishima is way off. It is pronounced, like four distinct words, Toe -- ree -- she --- mah. Not what sounds like he is pronouncing it as one slurred toe-rish-i-mah.
With all the Latinos around one might just use the Mexican vowels to pronounce most Japanese words/places and you'll have it 95+% of the time correct.
