King, Warren B. 1964 28 swinging into the next turn. The Sooty swings abruptly from one turn to the next, never taking time for that horizontal glide. The Wedgetail wings are held with a crook like a Frigate at the wrist, and are slightly arched. The Sooty uses flutter and straighten wing posture. The Sooty Tern, Wedgetail flock was milling but not actively feeling. At 1604 A Laysan albatross came up from behind and followed the ship for two to three passes then departed. Sooty Shearwaters going north to northwest and Wedgetails going northwest to west for most part. Watches are getting sharper on calls, although only two (George and Harold) are interested in species level. A group of three Harcourt's Type B were seen. Pretty close together. March 22--Started off morning with three Black-footed Albatross on way into Hilo to drop off BOF personnel who was near death from seasickness. They followed us subsequently the whole day. Building up their numbers to five by nightfall. Instituted a method of spotting additions: A for white rump, B for more white than dark, C more dark than white, and D all dark. Since one or two are straggling several hundred yards behind ship most of the time the system is rather ineffectual but it may help. Five were seen floating together during hydro station. All today's Wedgetails were light phase, some scaling very high. A petrel of some sort was seen scaling over 50 feet high. Coming toward Hilo Harbor two Jaegers and a Gull were seen. The latter was mediumsized, slightly larger than a Jaeger, with a grey back and white tail with black tip. Gull seen from 400 yards so description not very complete. Also four Anons sp. probably Hawaiian Noddies passed by. Bob saw a Hawaiian Noddy later at 1210. Spent short time in Hilo harbor amid rain and heavy overcast where I talked to Pat Gould comparing notes.
