June 29 wind from NW sky ¾ clouded 0810 Starts Lunch The Cook's Petrel was a medium sized Petrel with a dark cap, white forehead, white underparts, grey back, grey wings, with a spectacular black W or inverse M across the wings and back. The black W was very conspicuous on the grey background. Both birds came in at close range, which afforded good looks. The White-bellied Storm Petrel was spotted hovering, "wally" on the water, 20 feet from port bow. It was strikingly sooty with a white band across the wing, and white belly. Throat and upper breast were dark. The back and wings were lighter than the head. Tail shape not observed. 0940 # 2ot Sooty Tern 0940 NW 1 Att. white bird trogids sp ? 0942 NW 5 Fairy terns 1040 NW 1 Broallareforme sp? } edge of storm 1045 NW 2 1100 NW 1 Sooty Tern 1115 NW 1 Broulluritome sp? in storm 1:19 SE 1 Cook's Petrel 1:40 S 1 White-bellied Storm Petrel 1:43 NW 1 Cook's Petrel 1:45 2 Puffin sp. 1:56 SSU 1 Bonelli's Gull Petrel (?) 2:05 SW 1 Fairy Tern 2:05 USW 1 Cook's Petrel 2:40 NW 1 jaeger (?) circling, all dark 2:43 NW 2 long black & white Shearwater Brown Noddy attempted to land on small Black & white Shearwaters 2:44 NW 1 Sooty Tern high 2:50 SE 1 small black & white Shearwater, foot flap, patterned wing. 3:00 NE 50 Sooty Tern 3:00 NE 1 Red-footed Booby 3:07 SE 1 Kennedy's Petrel (?) 3:18 NE 1 Cook's Petrel (?) 3:25 NW 2 Sooty Terns 3:25 NE 2 Noddy 3:25 NE 2 Sooty Tern
