[TN-Bird] Hatteras pelagic pics (incl. Bermuda Petrel)

Today was Day 1 of 9 straight pelagic trips for me out of Hatteras with 
Brian Patteson (http://www.seabirding.com).  It was a fantastic day, and 
I've posted some highlight pictures at my SmugMug page 
(http://csloan.smugmug.com).  My goal for these trips was to find my 
second Bermuda Petrel and to get a good photograph.  Done and done.  
Other highlights were a dark-morph Trindad Petrel, lots and lots of 
Leach's and Band-rumped Storm-Petrels, and jaegers and skuas galore.

All of these were taken with my new 300mm f2.8 lens.  To say I am happy 
with that investment is a gross understatement.  ;)

I'll post more as the trips progress.
