King, Warren B. 1964 40 Some display behavior was noted among the Black-feets. "No saying" and mutual neck preeming were seen. April 12--At 1315 Black-footed Albatrosses started following the ship, just shortly outside of the harbor, building in numbers to nine by late afternoon. During a hydro station two of these were caught in a long handled net and banded: FWS numbers 757-60901, 02, at 1830. Between 1315 and 1325 a stream of noddy terns, 52 in all, all headed west, corsed the bow, with four more following up to an hour later. Sooty Terns were also numerous, in small groups up to ten, mostly going east. Only one Jaeger was seen. It followed the ship for a while. It had a dark breast and white abdomen. Three individual Red-footed Boobies were seen, adults, close to Oahu and at 1640 forty more were feeding in a flock of two hundred Sooty Terns. Thereafter sooties continued to be seen in small numbers till dusk. Wedgetails were seen throughout the day, all singles except for a flock of six, all were light phase. Two Bulwer's Petrels and one ? were seen, flying like small all dark petrels. I hope flight pattern will be sufficient to distinguish between these and Sooty Petrel, since shape of tail is a lousy field mark. At 1629 Dave Bratley saw a large shearwater/petrel with light underparts, gray upperparts and white on either tail rump or lower back. At 1900 an immature Red-footed Booby perched on the upper wire which connects the two masts. He had departed when I arrived on watch this morning. Dave and I both queasy.
