Forster's Tern Forster's Terns were seen only on the south track, and were also noted in Long Beach Harbor before departing on the cruise. None were seen outside the Channel Islands. Alcids Only a small percentage of the alcids seen were identified. Rhinoceros Auklets (2 specimens collected) comprised most of the identifications on both tracks, and three Xantus Murrelets were seen just south of Catalina Island. An additional five unidentified alcids were seen on the north track, and 34 on the southern leg.
