The Manx Shearwater is similar in looks to the Sargasso Shearwater. Because these two shearwaters are seen in the same waters, close observation is needed to determine which shearwater it may be. This small shearwater is usually seen offshore from the coastlines of southeastern US states and the eastern waters of Canada. It has been reported off the northern coast of Cuba.
