DeBuccelitus 1967 12 Jan on board "Golden Bear" off Guadalupe I., Mex. except for what ever low vegetation that might be present, and mostly bounded by steep cliff. Highest pass looks like an eroded volcanic plug. So do main island are two small, steep walled islands rising 4-500' out of the ocean; look like the much eroded plugs of old volcano. Dr. Buckholts now says pelics not here, but certainly no sign of them now. No Mammals, and, in fact, none seen yesterday A.M. As we pulled out from the island, saw a large Shearwater cross the wake of our boat, & a fairly light Falcon followed the boat for some time before heading off. We picked up a white-vented Bionectria migriceps, with white upper & lower tail coverts, about 7 - 7:30 and a bird resembling this was present until 9 and at noon (?) it and an all black bird were following the boat. About 20 Herring and 1 ad. Calif. Gull following at noon, from noon until 2 saw no birds from the boat. 30# Herring and 5+ Calif Gulls following the boat + 2 Bionectric migriceps, our prob. the same bird from 7 this A.M. When garbage is thrown over, all the gulls & the albatross come in and land, but the albatross is boss. It sits with the wings just uplifted over the back, such up and bill horizontal and unfolds the wings
