somewhat below the May 1964 total of 66. In May 1964, 24 birds were seen in the southwestern corner, but in May 1965 the birds were not found there at all, but rather in the southeastern corner. Sooty Shearwater Of 222 birds observed this month, 81 were seen on 13 May. Two were taking part in a feeding flock. Almost no birds were seen on the 148° N leg. This has been noted on previous months as well. It may indicate that the migration route is centered on the Hawaiian Islands. Only a few individuals are expected in June. Kermadec Petrel Two, possibly three, individuals were seen in May, all north of 17° N. All were light phase birds. These are the first May records of this species in the area. Previously none had been seen until July. Dark-rumped Petrel A new record high of 16 individuals was seen in May. Most were either very near the island of Hawaii or north of the high Hawaiian Islands, although one was seen as far south as 12° N. Two were seen flying together for the first time on 30 May. Mottled Petrel One bird was seen on 16 May heading north at the southern end of the area.
