Feeding Flock. This flock was very interesting in that of the some 20 petrel procellariids identified with it I was unable to spot a single WT. Of the 5 petrels I saw well and at close range 4 were decidedly w.b. while the fifth may have been dark-mump. I suspect though that it was probably our form or another of the white-neck - Dayle notes that some of the sooty terns were immature.
