March 11 on board "Golden Bear", Coros Is. to San Diego, Calif. far off in the distance. Between 10:30 and 11 I saw one dark Booby, far off in the distance circling over a group of porpoise, and I also saw 5 light-phase Wedge-tail Shearwaters, 3, then 2 together. Between 11 and 11:30 saw a pale bluish-billed, dark phase Red-footed Booby and 5 light-phase Wedge-tails came close to the ship. Their bill looks dark with a pink upper mandible except the base and tip, which are dark. Far off there was a group of 200-300 Wedge-tails milling about like Eootles off the Calif. coast, and many were sitting on the water. Didn't see any feeding. One Frigatebird with them. 4 rapidly flying Oceanodromes went by, prob. O. castro by the tail. Shortly after this, e. 11, 2 fin-bleek whales - one 50-60 ft. long, with a black back and a high sharp dorsal fin, appeared in front of the ship. There were 75+ Sooty Terns, a Frigatebird and 25+ Wedge-tail Shearwaters. The Terns all flew off as we approached; the frigatebird following, while the shearwaters milled about, about 73 swimming on the water. Quit for lunch at 11:30 and from 12 to 12:30 saw only 1 Heavis's Petrel, with a clearly divided white rump patch. It flew much like the last O. castro I saw, but faster than the ones I saw in the morning. From 12:30 to 1 saw a pale Wedge-tail Shearwater and 3 rapidly flying
