Cogswell 1949 Puffinus griseus 8 July 27 - N. side of Pt. Pinos, Monterey Co., Calif. Watched from about 6:48 to 7:00 PM. & saw only 14 shearwaters, all well offshore, mostly single !!! a terrific diminution over last night's numbers. Sea is somewhat less choppy tonight, but the main swells are as big as last night. on the way home we checked also the W. side of the point & saw none. Possibly yesterday's flight was of a migratory nature & not merely a daily movement. What one needs to follow these birds, though, is an aquatic helicopter. Insofar as I could tell from here the line yesterday travelled something like this? MONTEREY BAY FORT ORD observed from here Pt. Ainos Lighthouse Pacific Grove MONTEREY Seaside Buoy on?
