DeBenedictis 1964 Aug. 30 Monteury Bay, off Pacific Grove, Monteury Co., Calif. boarded a chartered fishing boat, the "Gray Ghost" at San's Nauf in Monteury about 8:30 and left c 9:15 for a pelagic bird trip sponsored by Golden Gate Audubon Society. We went out WNW about 25 miles, due south and back in ENE about 2 miles off the Pacific Grove water from. It was overcast, and became quite windy after c 10, a little wind all day. Rain squalls, light far out but not enough to hinder the birds. Most pelagics were beyond c. 7 miles out. Birds seen were: Black-footed Albatross - 3 - each alone and 2 were on the water, the third came up to the boat, cell on the south bound leg of traverse, c. half an hour apart. Fulmar - 1 - a very mottled bird in a strange plumwege seen about 20 mi. out on the way out. an intermediate phase with the back pale tann, held the wings dark, uniform - felt short, heavy, yellow. Pinkfooted Shearwater - the first one appeared c. 8 miles out and we saw them c. every 5# minutes on the average until were we about 5 mi out of Pt. Pinos on the way back. all birds were alone, never more than 3 in sight at once. New Zealand Shearwater -N- 2 seen on the wayout, c. 10 + 18 mis out, one on the South leg, and one c. 10 mile off Pt. Pinos on the way in.
