Oceamites oceanicus at about 3 PM today. always Dec 8 One flew through patrolling at about 5 PM along hill slope, low to slope rapid mete flight. Dec 13 Watching from door of lab at 12:10 to 12:18 AM during which time 15 Wilson petrels went by, all were heading NNE toward open water. They were flying singly & low- thought once 4 were seen at the same time in a widely scattered group. Dec. 21 While on the sheer slope above the line of the bush I saw a Wilson petrel on 2 occasions flying back & forth along the slope. This may have been the same bird. At any rate I had the definite impression that the bird might be located along the slope somewhere but when watched it eventually flew out over the bay.
