Black-footed Albatross (Phoebastria nigripes)

One of my first Black-footed Albatrosses (lifer #321), among several seen that day on a pelagic trip out of Eureka, California with HSU's ornithology class. Besides the albatross, the two other lifers I saw that day were a Glaucous Gull (#320) in the bay as we departed (for which I have terrible photos), and a pair of Marbled Murrelets (#322) as we returned (no photos).
