Sat. 10/20/12.
A live Wilson's Storm Petrel was found on the deck of a private yacht (the Rising Sun, 453 ft. long, operated by a recording company owner) this morning. It was anchored off the old Bluenose ferry terminal, quite far up the bay although the heavy rain and southeast winds during the night most likely brought the bird that far up the bay. The yacht was well lighted during the night and that probably attracted the petrel. The bird was turned over to me and it immediately flew off over the bay when released.
