Seabirds of the World

Quiz was made using Peter Harrison's "Seabirds -- The New Identification Guide" 2nd Ed., eBird, and Birds of the World; some nicknames were taken from Wikipedia
Answers are at the species level; notable subspecies are acceptable, although providing answers at the species level will fill these out. In this scenario, the nominate species is denoted in [square brackets]
Hybrids at the species level are not a part of the quiz, although some notable hybrids at the subspecies level are (although entering the species is suficient)
Nicknames and variations in accepted bird names across different ornithological organizations are accepted, and are usually denoted in parentheses
