Sargasso (formerly Audubon’s) Shearwater

ABA 1

(Puffinus lherminieri)

Limited to the Atlantic coast, Sargasso Shearwater is North America’s smallest regularly-occurring shearwater. It was known as Audubon’s Shearwater until a species split and yet another politically-motivated name change in July, 2024.
