Monterey Bay, Calif. Bio Survey Journal seem to be mostly Ring-billed and California Gulls. Seagullness & dissipation prevailed for the remainder of this trip. Briefly however, the following were positively identified today. Fulmar - almost all in dark phase, Palefooted Shearwaters abundant 2 or 3? Pink-footed Shearwater abundant, Stoty shearwater very abundant, Black Petrel & Ashy petrels abundant; reports of Leach Petrel seen, not verified by me, Rhumaceros auklet, Cassin auklet both common, Murre less common; Bonaparte Gull uncommon, Herring & Western Gulls Common, Several Scaups seen, Pomarine & Parasitic for sure. Very few Cormorants seen all entire day. Red Phalaropes were very abundant. A Skua was seen from afar but fairly definitely. A good concentration of Leids was hit [illegible] towards the Santa Cruz side where good concentration of most species were seen.
