Pterodroma externa externa 070 Nov. 2 2 birds Description; Typical Tuna Petrel with light grey head, white collar, uniform light grey, underwing pallor, dark border about 1" in width, dark black mark. Back and wings: Lighter scapulars, mid dark tail. White forehead, with light grey cap extending below the eye (no black cap patch, like P. phaeopygia). Nov. 9 Tuna's are still very abundant. Flock of about 50 birds. Observed twice today. Dec. Very common in the rough seas from to 20 miles east of Johnston. One flock observed sitting on the water in a compact unit. I believe it was a migratory flock that was resting in the daytime. As the ship approached the flock took wing and circled until the ship passed and then they settled. P. externa probably migrates at night and sleeps in the day. Both subspecies were present in most flocks with TFP outnumbering (WP 20-1). Pterodroma Sp. Nov. 10 Description; Upperparts dark brown with darker edge feathers giving it a mottled appearance. Forehead dark brown, primaries dark brown, underparts white with a brown chest band that may have been complete. Throat appeared white. Underwing dark with a white slash along humerus and a light patch at base of primaries. The light patch did not show through above. General appearance wedge-tail like, sage of Phoenix Island petrel. Believed to be Pterodroma arminjoniana lauditia but could have been a Chroicocephalus in bad molt except for underwing? The bird was not observed long enough, but was close for one fairly good look.
