3 Manx Shearwater This species showed a very nice distribution. First there was a concentration just south of Oahu. Second, there was a well defined area between 6 - 10°N NE of the Line Islands. More than 2/3 of the birds were seen in this area. Phoenix Island Petrel The northern range of this bird was 13°N but the heaviest concentration was between 3 - 8°N to the NE of Christmas Island.
