1965 Bills Arvey Journal Oct 6 Murres almost always dive curway from or gather on the surface away from the approaching boat. Only on a couple of occasions did one take wing. The swell and the wind are hitting the boat from the Northwest while the boat is on a Westerly course. This causes a tremendous amount of rolling since the sea is rather high. Sooty Shearwaters are seen occasionally, and also pink footed Shearwaters which have white under parts. These are at least as numerous as the Sooty now. Possibly Stender bills or New Zealand Shearwaters are here but can't be positively identified by us. About 3 Fulmars are seen 2 light and 1 dark. Haven't gotten a real close look but see birds flying like shearwaters and gulls combined, Actually they are like a slower, larger, stubbier shearwater in flight. They seem to flap more often in rather Gull-like beats. Two very large Gull like birds, dark but wr white patches in the wings are seen from a distance. These we take to be Skuas, but haven't seen them close yet. At the Farallones we have a lot of calm on the leeward side of the Island, where the boat comes out and picks up men & supplies. Captain decides not to let us go ashore because its too rough and besides, Larry is a wee Seasick so we don't go ashore. We turn back soon and the trip back is smoother because we ride over the swells. In the bay again at 330, Elegant tern, several Royals. About 2 miles N of the Oakland Bay bridge I spotted a parasitic Jaeger down in the water. Larry sees another. They pick up and fly off the bow and alight on [illegible]
