Puffinus griseus

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?
