Cogswell 1949 Puffinus griseus July 6 (cont.) - Pt. Pinos, Monterey Co., Calif. the point, except for an occasional one far out which was seen to circle about. They seemed to be sticking closer to water surface than on 4th. Total number seen going by in the 20 min. was 3000+ July 7 - 6:45 - 7:15 P.M. - The sea is much calmer than yesterday - and sheer. waters far less numerous. Not over 200-300 seen passing by the point, and many of them circled around & settled briefly on the water well offshore at places where Heermanns Gulls were also plunging to the surface. When gone on around the "point" they flew at greater average distance from shore than yesterday. With the calm sea, little mind they had to flap almost constantly: series of 8-12+ flaps following one another with only very brief glides between them —the glides lasting less than 1/3 the time that the flap series did. July 10 - 7:05-7:15 P.M. - Thin misty fog. Sea nearly as smooth as on 7th, but wind a bit stronger. Total of about 7 shearwaters seen; the 2 which came close enough for identification were this species. Flight of all was very close to surface, with periods of flapping & sailing nearly equal in length. All going SW past point. July 14 - Ocean W. of mouth of Elkhorn Slough, Monterey Co., Cal. numbers travelling Northward well beyond breakers.
