Regarding Keith's bird and my suggestion that it was a Sooty Shearwater. Ralph Eldridge wrote me and suggested Skua: I based my suggestion on the app, iBird Pro. Using the search feature in the app I came up with the SOSH. I didn't think the bird in the app looked much like Keith's. I looked under the photo tab in the app and found a photo by Cindy Marple that that made me offer the suggestion of SOSH.
I uploaded the photo to my Flickr account so you can all see it: <http://www.flickr.com/photos/dc143c/9438488629/>
It may be inaccurate. If so, I will inform the great folks of the Mitch Waite Group.

I recently saw this bird on a Bar Harbor whale trip and would appreciate help in IDing it. I'm assuming a Jaeger or a Skua? I saw 4 Pomarine Jaeger on the trip but the tails were very different. I would appreciate any assistance.
The pictures are a little blurry:
