Husted, Dayle N. 1964 46 a shearwater-petrel that was seen that was entirely dark except for a white undebody. It was about the size of a Cook's or Bonin Island Petrel. It flew just like one, staying low to the water. If I had not seen the dark underwings I would have called it a Bonin Island Petrel. One flock was observed in a rainstrom. The Cook's Petrels have dark wing tips with varying dark margins on the rest of the underwing. Also, a possible Kermadec Petrel was seen today by Warren. Several Sooty Shearwaters were observed. Most of the Petrels are headed south, the Golden Plovers are headed north which is to be expected. October 4--The sea was calm, picking up towards evening. The sky was partly cloudy with squalls this afternoon. Many Sooty Shearwaters were seen, all heading south. Many of the Sooty Shearwaters were observed to fly low when they passed the ship. Once past, they continued their high arcs. This morning we saw five Solander Petrels. This afternoon I saw what may have been a Sooty Storm Petrel. Warren saw what he thinks was a Pale-footed Shearwater. It had a long white bill and it looked different than a Sooty Shearwater. I saw another one of the birds that look like a Cook's Petrel, except that it has all dark underwings. Fewer flocks were seen today. October 5 --The sea was calm and the sky was clear to partly cloudy. Many flocks were seen today. Almost all of the Sooty Terns in the flocks were immature. I saw one flock ther was seen a skua, in another there was seen a jaeger. The flock was composed mainly of Sooty Terns, JFP, and Cook's Petrels. I have noticed that few Kermadec and Solander's Petrels and Sooty Shearwater are in flocks. The Sooty Shearwaters seen to stay all by themselves. Most or many of the single birds are headed south.
