King, Warren B. 1964 36 northwest to north, except one whose course was blocked by the ship so that he had to circle around ship. All Wedgetails today (3) were light- phase. Three more small light colored shorebirds were seen today. It seems most probable that most of them are phalaropes. Harcourt's were Type B except one not seen long enough to tell. At 1215 a Bulwer's Petrel came by. The lone Sooty Tern came by at 1515. At 1700 an interesting petrel appeared: upper parts light gray, underparts white, with some black edging on underwings. Medium sized bird, the size of a Newell's Shearwater, larger than a Bonins. Typical petrel flight - high, tight scales on strong wind with reefed wings and hunched shoulders. Far less activity today than yesterday. Apparently we have left the high productivity area. March 30--Gale winds all day., with spray breaking over the bow every ten or twenty seconds. Rolls to 40°. Day was dominated by Sooty Shearwaters: 13+ 9 probables, all heading north-northwest to northwest. Three more small light colored shorebirds. It becomes increasingly evident these are phalaropes, since the Sanderling population of the Pacific is not very large. Two Sooty Shears were apparently flying with a White-necked and an unidentified Shearwater/petrel at 0710. They finally turned around and headed northwest. A nice Dark-rumped Petrel at 0711. One Harcourts, a type B and one Wedgetail, light phase rounded out the day.
