Black Footed Albatross S. nigripes ② Filmed about 50 yds. astern. At Tonies 1931, we had as many as 6. May 8, 1931 this morning about 9:00 AM. The "goonies" left us. We were about 10-15 miles off Tillamook Bay at the time. Perhaps we were getting too close to land for these pelagic wanderers. This off, at 5:30 there was a lone "goonie" in Juan de Fuca Strait just off Port Angeles. It was just seen a half mile in front of the boat & seemed to be heading away from the sea. They are seldom seen so far away from the open sea? "Goonie" = Black Footed Albatross May 20 - off Yakutat Bay - two birds followed the ship all morning until the pistol practice at 1:00 P.M. drove them away. Oct. 2 Unalaska Is., Aleutian Is., Alaska According to local report, "goonies" are rarely seen on the Bering side of the Aleutian Is.
