Gould, P. J. 1965--At Sea 29 August 8, 1965--Pacific Ocean, Grid Area Sighted large flock of birds (ca 100+) milling about. 75+ Sooty Terns, 25+ Shearwaters and Petrels (including 1 Wedge-tailed and 1 Christmas Island at least). 10-15 Sooty LTerns flew past, none had tags. Qs the ship approached the flock (ca 1000-2000 yards, all of the Sooties rose higher into the air and proceeded to fly in a ste procession to the SW. Evidently the ship had scared the school of fish and the birds left for greener pastures.' The Shearwaters broke up into 1's and 2's and scattered. The flock was staying primarily in the area of a rain cloud shadow. We would see no fish jumping. 0006--1 Bonin Island Petrel?
