Bulmer 1966 Journal 15 July 1966: Two W.R.S.P. Both flew nighthawk like. One collected - Leach's Petrel. One all dark large Pterodroma with white flashes in underside primaries. (dark phase Kermadec ?) 16 July: Squall hit Howland at night and resisted To make a shore bird count to compare with the one on the 14th. Only 2 non-breeding plumaged Golden Plover were observed (one collected). One non-breeding plumaged Wandering Tattler and one non-breeding plumaged Puddy Turnstone were bound. The squall evidently blew most shorebird off the island and through in the Turnstone. Wader terns were also taking. But they probably are from Baker and just cotton Howland during midday. 17 July At sea, four large feeding flocks, several individuals Stercorarius antarcticus and hypoleucus. Four Leach's Petrel, and three Pterodroma pycrota. The White-tailed Storm Petrel flew with little flapping and wing stretched horizontally using air currents over the wave, swooping up at each crest and plucking food out of the crests with a bill. I counted six consecutive waves that it snapped food out of at the height of its swoop. The second bird fed with a Leach's Petrel for 35 min, both birds staying off and in front of the ship (out of gun range). [illegible] The tail of Pterodroma pycrota is quite destructive.
