Entiendo que se trata de una especie no común de ver. En Gral Pueyrredón hay un registro. Las fotos que pude tomar no son de buena calidad, pero con binoculares obtuve excelente detalle del pico. Pico claro con punta oscura. No robusto. Más estilizado y con silueta diferente a Procellaria aequinoctialis, que pude observar varios ejemplares en todo el recorrido. Justifica analizar la posibilidad.
