At 0610 appeared the first of 8 Dark-rumped Petrels < This one was obviously undergoing molt. It was missing secondaries and was mottled brown grey on the back like numerous birds of last cruise. The other 7, 3 in a flock, 2 together & 2 singles were all with fresh plumage. At 0920 one white-necked Petrel was observed. 3 Newell's Shearwaters today, all well seen. The first, at 0611, flew alongside ship less than 100 yds out for a while then, turning astern of ship, almost fell into water putting the lee of the bird. 25 Sooty Shearwaters, all 1, 2, or 3 to a bunch, all headed NW to S. 11 Hariants and 1 storm petrel sp., several of which were in pairs. The Hariants were more numerous where the other species were less numerous. At 0705 - another pink-footed Shearwater? was seen in the company of a dark phase Wedgetail, and again at 0822 Dave Bradley saw one of same description; Wedgetails very numerous today. Probably most of early morning Shearwaters/petrels were Wedgetails. 132 seen in all, #18 dark phase 6 light & 8 not determined. For higher percentage of dark to light than last cruise. At 0714 2 immature masked Boobies followed ship for minute or two. 132 Sooty Terns, all in 2 flocks, 7+125 both feeding with 50-20 Wedgetails. At 0905 a Bonin's Jaeger was seen by both Bristow & King at fairly close range. It had dark breast + light abdomen. 2 Bulwars + 1? were seen. Starting just after dawn and ending before noon, a very rich area must have been passed. The water looked greener & flying fish were abundant. 2 feeding flocks were seen, feeding on sardines; and birds were very numerous throughout the area. Thereafter things slowed down, the main traffic being Hariants + Sooty Terns which don't feed anyway. flocks: 0801 1 Newell's Shear. 0900 50-60 Wedgetail travelling 3 Wedgetail feeding 3 Dark-rumped P. 1 Sooty Shear 7 Sooty Terns 0937 50-60 Wedgetail feeding 1 petrel 1 Hariant sp. 125-150 Sooty Tern
