3 Species Account - Grid Black-footed Albatross (Diomedia Nigripes) No. Obs.: 52 Adjusted: 39 R = 2 (.017) S = 15 (.160) T = 10 (.102) U = --- V = 13 (.141) W = 12 (.218) X = --- Y = --- Z = --- Among the actual 39 individuals recorded, only three were recorded as white-rumped birds (no mottled-rump birds were recorded). These three white-rumped birds were recorded separately in sections S, T, and W. Although only section R is represented in the west for this trip, two-thirds and four-fifths as many miles were traversed here as compared with the central and eastern sections, respectively. Therefore, since only two Black-feets were recorded in R compared to 37 in the central and eastern sections, it appears that these birds are wandering around closer to the coast than has been reported in earlier surveys. Laysan Albatross (Diomedia immutabilis) No. Obs.: 1 This bird was recorded in section T and did not follow the ship. Fulmar (Fulmarus glacialis) No. Obs.: 3 All three birds were dark-phase individuals recorded in section W just prior to sunset. This low total, compared to other recent surveys, indicates that nearly all of the birds have migrated north already and only a few stragglers remain in the area. Sooty Shearwater (Puffinus griseus) No. Obs.: 4 R = 2 (.017) S = 0 T = 0 U = --- V = 1 (.011) W = 1 (.018) X = --- Y = --- Z = --- Sooty Shearwaters have reappeared in the Grid, but are more numer- ous closer to the coast as seen by the non-Grid summary. The birds seen in the Grid were all recorded as moving northward. According to the locations of the individuals seen, the birds appear to be distributed throughout the entire Grid area at this time. Pterodroma species No. Obs.: 2 These birds were seen in section V on 27 March. These were prob- able Cook's Petrels (Pterodroma cookii)
