Remsen, J.V. 1973 New Zealand Shearwater Puffinus bulleri Sep.15 San Diego offshore boat trip: 2 Very rare this far south. Seen by all on board, including McCaskie, Stallcup. White underparts including very white underwings; dark upperparts except for large white areas in wings. Sharp division between dark and light body areas. Size of Sooty Shearwater, but wings more even width - not as sharply tapering. Sep.22 Monterey Bay boat trip: 10 in two flocks of 5. They keep the wings arched like a spotted Sandpiper and probably do more gliding and less flapping than any other shearwater. Underwings whiter than any other shearwater. Sep.30 Eureka boat trip: 5 Oct.6 Monterey Bay boat trip: 3
