Scoty Shearwater - only 2 seen in trip out, but about 18 or 20 individuals were Dry look seen on return trip. Not associated with other species. Black-vented Shearwater - 3 seen soon after leaving Farallons on return trip. Pink-footed Shearwaters - 4 seen about halfway out to islands. Brown Pelicans - first seen just north of lightship, which is at 122°41'25"W and 37°04'5"N, Four of them were flying westerly. A few others seen a few miles NE of Farallons. On return trip a few came to the boat as gulls did, grabbing fish cleanings tossed overboard by fishermen. A few landed on water with gulls and moved along with us. Darkness came before we reached the Golden Gate. However, silhouetted against the city lights I saw brown pelicans heading toward S.Fran. Bay from the ocean. A total of 35 or 40 were seen between 1830 and 1900 PST. Also saw 5 in one group heading out to sea at this time. Farallon Cormorants - huge numbers feeding over Potatopatch Shoals (Four Fathom Bank) located between 122°33'-37'W and 37°48-50"N, to the west of Bonita Relegie C. Point and Bonita Channel. They would flush ahead of our boat. A few seen all the way out and back. Northern Phalaropes - 2 or 3 small groups of 3-5 seen on way out and a few seen Deltastone on way back. All in winter plumage. Parasitic Jaeger - No full adults seen, but about 8 birds lacking tail elongations were observed. Best told by comparison of head markings when they approached close enough. Long-tailed Jaeger - Saw only one full adult with 8-10" tail elongations going out and one coming back. "Tailless" birds could not be identified during the a.m., but on return trip there were several that approached within 40 feet of our boat and of 7 seen in 5 minutes, 4 were quite definitely long-tailed jaegers. I watched one jaeger chase 2 gulls in a.m. and in p.m. I watched 5 long-tails course in a close group behind the boat, cutting across the wake the gulls were following. OVER
