King, Warren B. 1964 27 hardly any lighter than dorsal surfaces. Wedgetail flight is dead give- away however. One Newell's today, close enough to be very clearly seen, even the white tabs that climb up the sides behind the wings ala violet-green Swallow. At 1023 and at 1030 two Bulwer's Petrels were seen at close range. They didn't quickly disappear from sight like a Storm Petrel. The wedge-tail, light dorsal wing bars, flight pattern, size, color, everything bespoke Bulwers. At 1159 four whales were seen fairly closely to the ship. They all spouted but identification is still beyond my grasp. Two flocks of Sooty Terns passed by at 1810 and 1816 with only a couple of individuals of the first flock observed feeding. Two Wedgetails were observed feeding by Sundell. They were light phase. March 21--Had a nice Newell's south at day break. Fairly well seen. All Harcourt's SP's seen today were Type B - Petrel-like as opposed to Type A bat-like. All Wedgetails (19) were light phase. Two Frigatebirds (1 ? adult) seen in each case unaccompanied. One of the Harcourts B's was seen to alight on the water with extended wings. The second Frigate was fishing, dropping from 30 feet or higher to inches of the water, then pulling up, evidently hitting the water only with its bill. Most of the Shearwater sp. birds today were almost certainly Sooty Shears. The flight pattern ought to be a giveaway, but there is always chance of error. The Wedgetail, when it arcs high doesn't get as vertical, and coming onto the descent it comes horizontal for a few tenths of a second before
