Puffinus opisthomelas -1
July 4.
Pt. Pinos, Monterey Co., Calif.
at least 3 different birds of this species
among the numbers of P. griseus just
off shore here in late P.M. They were
close enough to see white under-
parts & wing lining & compare
size (decidedly smaller) with both
the Sooty Shearwater & Heermann's Gull.
May have been much more common;
but certainly far less numerous
than P. griseus.
I noted no distinctive flight
features, but I was unable to
follow individuals of this species
for very long with my binoculars.
at least 4 seen among hordes of
passing P. griseus. [which see].
