EASTERN AREA CRUISE 33 13 - 22 December 1967 EASTERN GRID SURVEY 19 14-21 December 1967 Prepared by Robert L. DeLong Itinerary: 13 December 1800: Depart Pt. Loma, San Diego, California 14 December 2310: Enter Grid Pt. Ash 21 December 1210: Depart Grid Pt. Oak. 22 December 0900: Arrive Pt. Loma, San Diego Personnel: Robert L. DeLong (BIC), T. James Lewis, and Jeffrey Tordoff. Survey Ship: USS REXBURG, PCER 855 Methods: Diurnal observations were maintained from the forecastle and the open bridge as weather dictated. Bathythermograph casts were made at four hour intervals, but were discontinued for 12 hours on the 17th due to heavy seas. Bucket temperatures were taken until it was found that they agreed exactly with the B-T instrument. However, the sea water injection temperature (recorded on the weather)log never agreed with bucket temperature. The skiff was not put in the water due to heavy seas. The REXBURG carried three rubber fuel cells containing ca.7500 gallons of diesel fuel on her decks. Before the last of these could be emptied the cell broke up emptying more than 2000 gallons of fuel over the decks and into the sea. The PCer class ships are well suited to the survey needs. Conditions: Snow in San Diego on the day of departure heralded conditions through- out the survey. Temperatures averaged below normal the first three days. Winds were high and the seas higher than normal. Only on the last two days of the survey while on the last leg did conditions moderate and seas go down.

1 Eastern Grid Survey #19 During 658 miles and 65 hours of observation, 349 birds of 13 species were recorded. One hundred ninety (54.5 percent) of these were ship follo- wers (gulls & albatross) and warrant separate statistical consideration. Highlights: 1) No diurnal coverage in N.E. Section of Grid. 2) First progression toward "normal" winter distribution in the Grid. 3) General low density due at least in part to observing conditions. 4) First recorded pelagic observation of Guadalupe Fur Seal (Arcto- cephalus townsendi). Problems: With the short days of December, it has become impossible to achieve equal diurnal coverage in all sections of the Grid. During this survey no diurnal coverage was achieved in the northeast corner, the area which acts as a qualitative indicator for the entire Grid. Secondly, observation of ship followers has become more complicated than during spring, summer, and fall surveys due to the presence of gulls. Albatross were eliminated from the tabular examination of earlier grid surveys, and now it becomes necessary to remove the gulls. But gulls and albatross cannot be treated as equally "qualified" ship followers. Gulls follow for relative short periods of time as evidenced by changes in age composition in the flock throughout the day. One arrives at a daily total by summing maximum numbers of all age classes of a species. The amount of individual interchange in the flock cannot be determined. It appears that gulls (Herring & Glaucous-winged Gulls) may be "good" pelagic/oceanic seabirds but that their ship following tendency makes it impossible to treat accurately their quantitative distribution.

Their distribution is more of the expected winter "normal" i.e., greatest number in northern third of the grid. They were abundant in the Santa Barbara Channel and can be assumed to have been present in large numbers in the northeast section (where we had no diurnal observations). One will expect, in the near future, a withdrawal of this species from the southern third of the grid, and further buildups in the north section. Sooty Shearwater (Puffinus griseus) The number of sooties dropped since Eastern Grid Survey 18. Although the birds seen on EGS 18 did not appear to be moving south (as they were on the previous survey) the species has now all but dispersed from the grid. 0 | 3 | - 0 | 0 | 2 0 | 0 | 0 Pterodroma sp. Number observed: 2 Two individual sightings were recorded in Sector X on 20 December. These birds were probably Cook Petrels. Fork-tailed Petrel (Oceanodroma furcata) Number observed: 2 The numbers remain very low. These numbers should be increasing by now, and can be expected to do so in the near future. Leach-type Storm Petrel (Oceanodroma leucorhoa) Number observed: 11 One of the (if not the) lowest number of storm petrels recorded on any survey. The winter breeding birds (from Isla Guadalupe) that were present during EGS - 17 are now probably incubating eggs. But where are the expected wintering populations? It is possible that the month of storms has 0 | 2 | - 6 | 0 | 0 0 | 1 | 2

3 forced the birds south. It is not likely that the high seas encountered during this survey could have been responsible for so few birds being re- corded. Phalaropes Red Phalarope Number observed: 9 Phalarope sp. Number observed: 16 The concentration in the northern third of the grid is much the same as on the EGS 18 earlier this month. Many of the birds were recorded sitting on the water near floating objects. Pomarine Jaeger (Stercorarius pomarinus) Number observed: 3 Two were light phase adults, and one a dark phase adult. All were seen on 16 December within a half-hour period. Glaucous-winged Gull (Larus glaucescens) Number observed: 17 All birds were immatures and followed the ship. There has never been an adult bird of this species recorded in the grid. This probably reflects the greater wandering tenden- cies of the immatures. Herring Gull (Larus argentatus) Number observed: 116 In a sample of 90 birds, 57 (63 percent) were adults and 33 (37 percent) immatures (first and second year birds). Distribution appears near random except for the central and southwestern sections. In both areas coverage was good, thus the sample is thought indicative of actual numbers. Black-legged Kittiwakes (Rissa tridactyla) Number observed: 80 Kittiwake numbers have increased greatly since EGS 18 (only 4 recorded) earlier this month. The distribution is centered in the north and probably is highest in the north- east corner. Both adult and immature birds were present. Alcids Number recorded: 5 Birds recorded in sections S and W.

8 Mammals: Thirteen mammals of four species were recorded in the grid area. Un- doubtedly the heavy seas encountered during the survey were responsible for seeing somewhat fewer mammals than normal. On 17 December a bull (large male) Guadalupe Fur Seal (Arctocephalus townsendi) was observed at 33°-26'N, 122°-13'W. This represents the first pelagic sight record away from Isla Guadalupe. It is interesting and possibly significant that this is about the same latitude as San Nicho- las Island where George Bartholemew recorded a male Arctocephalus in 1949.

10 Non Grid Observations No observations were held on 13 December. On 14 December observations were begun about noon as during morning hours all decks were secured due to extreme weather. The outstanding observation on 15 December what was believed to have been a Cape Pigeon (Daption capense) was recorded 34°11', 119° 43' in the Santa Barbara Channel about nine miles north of Santa Cruz Island. The bird was observed by DeLong and Tordoff and the following remarks recorded. "Back pattern like that of Cape Pigeon-with much mottling; white breast, belly and under tail coverts. Head not seen well. Flight: little if any flapping-arching to 25 ft. on slow, low ascent angle. Much turning (roll- ing from side to side) but turns and arches executed more slowly than by small Pterodroma." At the time of the observation winds were gusting to 35 knots and the channel was very choppy. We were unable to chase the bird and the sighting must be given weight as only a questionable sight record. Summary of other nongrid observations are listed in TABLE 5.
