Husted, Dayle N. 1964 48 morning a definite White-necked Petrel was seen. This morning I also saw a Newell's Shearwater. A Kermadec Petrel was seen this afternoon. During the day several Leach's Storm Petrels were seen. During the [illegible] day several Leach's Storm Petrels were seen. This evening while on a hydro station a Leach's Storm Petrel was seen dabbling at a cigarette but Warren saw a Dark-rumped Petrel this afternoon. October 8--The sea was calm and the sky was clear this morning with clouding this afternoon. There were few birds today. The wind was about 20 to 25 knots, so the birds really sailed along. Two Shearwater-Petrels were seen today that were fairly large, chunky, dark brown, and they flew different than a Wedgetail. They stayed low to the water and they flopped more often. Golden Plover, Juan Fernandez Petrel, Cook's Petrels, Red-tailed Tropicbird, and others were seen today. I saw one flock today, but it was at a great distance. I think the birds in it were Juan Fernandez Petrel, Cook's Petrels, and possibly Wedgetails. October 9--The sea was fairly calm and the sky was cloudy with squalls this morning and afternoon. This morning a skua came right by the ship. It may have been sitting on the water because I was looking towards the bow, then I looked away, then looked back towards the bow and there it was, sailing over the bow, and towards the storm. The skua was darker than others I have seen, and the white patches showed up very plainly on the wings. Not much else was seen today except for a large flock I saw this afternoon. The flock contained four Frigates, 120+ Sooty Terns many of which were immature, and many Juan Fernandez Petrel, Cook's Petrel, and some Shearwater-Petrel of which some of them may have been Dark Phase Wedgetails.
