EASTERN AREA CRUISE No. 25 Eastern Grid Survey No. 14 28 September - 7 October 1967 Personnel: R. L. DeLong (Biologist-in-charge) Richard D. Chandler John Fitch Itinerary: 28 September 1100 Depart Treasure Island, San Francisco 29 September 0440 Enter Eastern Grid at Pt. Ash 6 October 0830 Depart Eastern Grid at Pt. Oak 7 October 0730 Arrive Long Beach Methods: Observations were made from a light tug during this survey. During periods of moderate, choppy seas which prevailed through most of the survey, observations were taken from the lee wing of the pilot house. On 4 October when seas and winds moderated observations were held from the flying bridge. No nocturnal observations were taken. Bathythermograph casts were made at four hour intervals in the gird area. Two departures were made from the normal grid track. On 2 October 25 miles were cut from the western end of east-west legs 3 and 4. Again on 3 October it became necessary to divert south of the normal track of east-west by 4 to avoid an area in the Pacific Missile Range where there was an apparent firing firing (see Figure ). Acknowledgments: Fine cooperation was received from Captain Frazier and crew members of the boat. A special thanks is extended to R. Cordinier who as a volunteer made the trip to serve as aerographer and to make B-T casts. Also Capt. Frazier is given special thanks as he participated in nearly every B-T cast during the entire trip. The B-T winch was furnished by Naval Electronics Laboratory in San Diego. A special thanks goes to Mr. George Schaffer of that organization who had the winch serviced and delivered to the boat. Vessel Considerations: The light tugs used in the survey worked well, i.e., they completed the grid and the work was done. However due to their size and, more important, their characteristics at sea, the quantitative survey data are not believed "good" (accurately indicative of actual numbers). This

was caused by observers being restricted to the lee side of the pilot house as frequently the windward side was taking heavy spray. This effectively limited the angle of observation; created a blind spot of 90-135 degrees, i.e., the horizon was cut by one-third. Also due to the fast, erratic, and severe motion of the vessel in even moderate seas the observer is not able to use field glasses extensively to scan the horizon. This greatly lessens his radius of visibility which in turn causes him to record fewer birds. Were heavy seas (10+ ft) encountered during a survey on these vessels, observations would have to be secured as all hatches are then secured as green water covers the pilot house. Even in more moderate seas if the vessel is headed directly into the sea the same "wet" conditions result. Over 826 miles and 82.8 hours of diurnal observation, 390 birds of 13 species* were recorded. One bird (a Shoveler) was collected. The low number of land birds recorded is thought to indicate lack of attraction to the small vessel. However it is possible this marks the end of their migration/dispersion movements. Synoptic highlights: 1) High numbers of migrating Sooty Shearwaters. 2) Increase in "Leach's" Storm Petrel numbers over last survey and their apparent southern migration. 3) Continued low number of phalaropes. 4) Only one land bird recorded. 5) Few marine mammals recorded. Black-footed Albatross 40 The number of albatross recorded on this cruise compares favor- ably with that of the last three cruises. This strongly suggests that albatross do follow small vessels as readily as they do larger vessels. (the previous three surveys were taken from a 400+ ft. vessel). There is no apparent explanation for the occurrence of the 14 recorded albatross in sector 4. On 34 of the total 40 albatross, rump color was recorded; the breakdown follows: Dark rumped 28 (82 %) White rumped 4 (12 %) Mottled rump 2 (6 %) *Albatross are not included in either of these totals.

Pink-footed Shearwater 3 One bird was seen on 29 September in Sector 2, and two birds were recorded 1 October in Sector 6. Sooty Shearwater 100 During this and the last survey Sooty Shearwaters have been moving through the grid area. The general movement is toward the southwest. A few birds seen in the western section of the northern and central sections are moving south. These birds may join the south-western "stream" of birds or may represent a separate movement. The move- mements around Point Conception where there are concentrations of the birds show the southwest movement but there is a possible funneling of birds to this area as though it were a jumping off point for migration. That there are still large numbers of sooties north of Point Conception at this time and that we have not recorded great concen- trations in migration, suggests that this migration occurs slowly in a "piece meal" fashion. This is unlike the Slenderbill Shearwater migrations in the Central Pacific where we have massive flocks moving fast through the area. Sooty Shearwaters have been recorded sitting on the water in the grid during the past two surveys. Leach's (type) Storm Petrel White-rumped Storm Petrels 147 Dark-rumped Storm Petrels 4 Storm Petrel sp. 40 191 Numbers have increased over the last survey. Many of the birds recorded during this survey were moving north. This movement was direct and rapid and is undoubtedly a migration. There was an increased population of these south-moving birds with brilliant white rumps. This strongly suggests that the birds moving south through the area at this time are birds from northern breeding populations rather than a final southward movement of southern birds that moved northward through the area on earlier surveys this summer. Black Petrel 3 Again on this survey as on Eastern Grid Survey 13, a few birds of this species were recorded.
Page 32
Brown Pelican 3 The appearance of this coastal bird is significant. That one bird was seen in Sector 2 at 35°00'N, 122°45'W demonstrates the ability of these birds to go to sea over a hundred miles from land. The other birds were seen in Sector 6 within 70-100 miles from the Channel Islands. All three birds probably represent birds that were based in the Channel Islands during the past breeding season. Golden Plover 1 One bird was recorded on 2 October at 32°32'N, 125°31'W in Sector 4. Phalarope Red Phalarope 14 1 ' 4 ' 5 ' Phalarope sp. 4 1 ' 0 ' 6 ' 0 ' 1 ' 0 ' The Phalaropes, in very low density, were moving south; un- doubtedly in migration. Jaeger/Skua Jaeger sp. 11 Skua 2 Jaeger/Skua 2 Eighty percent of the Jaeger/Skuas were recorded in Sector 2 on 29 September. These birds are very abundant to the north from Monterey Bay south at this time. Thus it is to be expected that they occur primarily in the northern sector of the grid. Tern sp. 34 0 ' 17 ' 11 ' 1 ' 0 ' 4 ' 0 ' 1 ' 0 ' As can be readily seen over 80 percent of the terns were recorded in the north east and north central sectors. The numbers recorded during this survey represent an almost 200 percent drop in numbers over last survey. These birds may represent the last of the Arctic Terns migrating south. Alcid 5 0 ' 4 ' 0 ' 0 ' 0 ' 1 ' 0 ' 0 ' 0 ' These birds were probably Xantus Murrelets or Cassin's Auklets. The distribution of these small alcids has been the same over the summer and fall.
