Gould, ?. J. 1963— At Sea ’ 1 July 59 . 1963— Honolulu . Oahu Island, U. S. A. ( Waikiki) Boh Fleet and I arrived lest night about 6:10 p.m, at the International airport via United. We stayed at the Waikiki International Hotel (2310 Kuhio Ave.). The island is beautiful green, cloud capped, temperate. The three most obvious (“common?) birds are ell introduced species; Indian yna, r Bared Dove and S-’ngliah Sparrow. These are present wherever you go. A W wrnt out to Pearl Harbor and arrived at Niroitz Gate about 9:00 a.m. after phoning mdr. Doyle of our intentions to get gate passes, etc. He promised to have us met at the irate. When we arrived we again phoned Doyle to let him know we were there and he said he was sending someone out to get us through. By 12:30 p.m. we were * ired of waiting so we again put through a call to Doyle. He was out to lunch hut the men we talked to promised to call us hack when he found out about our problem* In about 10 minutes he called back and apologised for our being held up. The blame was variously shoved around and ended in H drav/ t • A Mr. L&Hona picked us up and escorted us out to the ( ) where we met various members of the crew including the captain and several men from BKSFBIIP (including Mr. Bushman). It appears that we have clearance to embark on the ship, but not to board. So we phoned Mary anna Smellow (collect) and asked her to check on our orders. After coffee and small talk, and no luck in contacting Mr. Fry at Supply In Pearl City. Mr. Bushman took us out, got us temporary passes and l*?ft us off at a spot where we devoured a very late (4:00 p.m.) lunch. My first impression is that no one really knows wh&t is going on. The ship leaves August 1 for the grid area £nd we hope to get c lot of collecting Gould a jjT# p 1963— «At Sea done. How, seems to be a matter of conjecture and apparently there arr conflicting opinions between the Smithsonian, the Navy, and DBS1HET. I have not tried to air my own views but they appear to be somewhat in conflict with all three above mentioned parties. I think it best to just sit back and see how things proceed. This first run will turn out to be merely a shakedown cruise so that everyone will find out what each other has in mind. Even so I think there is a good chance to get a lot accomplished (if everyone will work together). -■fair 1963* — Waikiki. Oahu, Hawaii We got up this morning and had breakfast with John Bushman. We went from here to the TAG 39 at Pearl Harbor. Picked up supplies at Pearl City and loaded them on the TAG. About 1:20 p.a. we met Bill Wirt*, Peter Marshall and Mike Trevor at the airport. Later in the day I walked down the major Waikiki way until I got to the zoo Unfortunately it was about 5:30 p.m. and the zoo was closed. Large nusibers v of India Fynahs, Bsj^d Doves and Chinese Spotted Doves were present . The Indian Mynah must be the most common bird on the island. It’s everywhere in large numbers. I saw one Brazilian Cardinal in the - ark by the zoo and heard one American cardinal. A little Iter on the lawn in front and to one side of the Surf Queen Hotel I s w a small flock of 6 Bice birds. Fngllsh sparrows were present as I walked back to the hotel. July .21 « 1963— Pearl Harbor , Oahu Island, Hawaii We cheeked out of the Waikiki Hotel today and spent all morning getting supplies stored aboard the TAG 39. We got ouk' rooms settled, etc. Mike &oma . £. I. 1963— At Sea 3 Trevor and I share a room. Boh Fleet and Peter Marshall share a room and Bill irts has a double room to himself.

The sailors on watch on each deck either ring the bow phone or call (twice) and then point if they see a bird.' The sailor on watch on the fan tail rings the deck 4 times and the deck rings us 4 times. This works out very well, and we are getting excellent cooperation from th*ir watches. They arc constantly spotting birds and pointing them out to us. I believe we are getting maximum coverage. 0550 — Bulwers? Gould , P.

There a steady (as much as possible) 8.4 knots will be held while on the grid. It is hoped that we can maintain an average of 8.4 knots so that on the first leg of the grid we will spend daylight at the Johnston Island half and night at the far end, then in the next leg to have night at the Johnston Island part.

There ere two graduate students from the University of Hawaii rboard this time to work on a special marine biology program. So far things have r been quite hectic. We have had many problems about the radar and camera attachments. Evidently the cam er% that Dr. Ely brought with him will not work. So he picked up - movie camera last night and we are going to try to take manual pictures of the radar and correlate them with sight observations. It is not at all satisfactory, but I guess it’s worth s try.

J . 1964 Black-footed Albatross 1 January 3--Pacific Ocean, 1st day out Oahu, Hawaiian Is. These birds were constantly following the ship all day. The highest number counted was 17+ at 1235* These birds cannot be considered as being in a flock since their individual movements were independent of each other. There were, however, two instances when flocks of albatross were noted (1117 hours and 1235 hours). Each of these was a group of 9 birds sitting in a group on the water. Every time garbage was thrown overboard these birds would all close in on it and sit down near it to feed. One bird was seen to sit down next to a paper box and others were attracted by bits of white paper thrown over the side. For the most part these birds remained behind the ship. One bird had an almost completely white belly and throat, but the throat was suffused with grayish. It was lighter colored on the back (more silvery) than the other birds and may have been a bit larger. Possibly a hybrid?? Several birds showed extensive white areas around the base of the tail. Collected 1 adult ? . At 1635 we caught 1 ad. Black-foot and banded it (number 757-60701), ca ? 50 mi. SSW Oahu. Bird was released at 1700 hours. January -Pacific Ocean, 2nd day out Oahu, Hawaiian Is. A total of 3 birds followed the ship today. One we collected and the other two stayed around all day. Primarily these birds stayed behind the ship crossing and recrossing our wake. Occasionally they would fly around the ship, but would always returne to a position behind the ship. January 5^-Pacific Ocean, 3rd day out Oahu, Hawaiian Is. Two birds have been around the ship today, but apparently only one bird was following us. The 2nd appeared once and then left. January 6 - -Pacific Ocean, kth day out Oahu, Hawaiian Is. Two individuals today followed the ship until one was collected at 17 00, then Gould, P .

February 3-*”l , acific Ocean, 1st day out Oahu, Hawaiian Is. Maximum of 8 individuals following the ship at 1317 hours. At times when two birds fly near each other one will follow the other for a short period. Usually, however, the birds Appear to be acting as individuals. When several sit down in the water others will often fly over to join or circle around them. One bird was caught, unharmed, on a fishing line. Banded (number 757-60836) and released. They were heard calling, 2 times. Once a bird on the water called to (at?) another that flew by. The second time was when birds were fighting over garbage. Often the birds will land in the water to either the starboard or port for rest rather than food. Today there was very little wind and the birds were doing an unusual amount of flapping.

It extended its legs forward and elevated its wings ~~)r > and settled on a wave crest, (occurred in ca. 10 sec.) Upon landing it kept its wings up for 15-20 sec. and inserted its bill downward in water as if to drink, several times. Then closed wings and floated, did not appear to feed. Gould, P. J. (Black-footed Albatross) 1964 March 2- -Pacific Ocean, 1st day out Oahu One albatross followed ship from 1405 until after sunset (1842). March 3- -Pacific Ocean, 2nd day out Oahu One bird seen for only a few minutes behind the ship at 1042. Gould, P. J. T96J" Wedge-tailed Shearwater 1 l/2 day out in S and W direction from Pearl Harbor- - August 1 1427. Circled about front of ship and moved with ship. Rapid flapping, then glide close to water. 1442 -1448 --Flying in direction of ship on starboard side. A lot more soaring and less flapping than one before, going higher over water. Flys horizontal, low over water, then rises in air banking with belly towards ship then back down into wave trough in "S" shaped motion. August 2--1 l/2 days out of Pearl Harbor, S and W We have seen a lot of these today in groups of anywhere from 1-30. Most often seen in 2 1 s and 3 T s . Saw one flock where there were 13 or so sitting on water and they waited until the boat was only 25-50 yds. from them before they flew. Saw another large flock and noticed a few plunge into the water after gliding close to surface. They stayed in water a few (l-2) minutes dabbling with head often entirely under water before flying again. These shearwaters hold a much more horizontal position over the water than other shearwaters I have seen. I have yet to see one really shear the water with a wing. Most of the banking (one wing up, the other down) is done higher above the water and when they go low they stay horizontal. We have seen 2 or 3 birds following each other on numerous occasions. They stay together for several minutes, but almost always break up after this and circle independently. We have seen Manx Shearwater and New Zealand Shearwater associating closely with flocks of Wedge-tails, while other birds such as Sooty and Fairy Terns loosely associated with Wedge-tails. August. 3~~2 l/2 days out Pearl Harbor (S and W) ca. 500 nautical miles by evening (8:00 p.m. ) Gould, P . J . Tg6y~ - ~ (Wedge- tailed Shearwater) 2 It appears that there is a geneal tendency for these birds to go around in group of 2. Some lone birds are spotted and some groups of 3 but when more than 1 is seen they often stick together most of the time. In flight the wing pattern is distinctive. August 4 --2322 -23 50 hours- -full moon warm and light wind. Shining cargo light on water, we saw as many as 8 Wedge-tails in light beam at one time. May have been as many as 10-20 birds. They were flying back and forth very low and in tight circles. We often thought we saw them take off of the water as the light beam hit them. Saw several with small (ca. 3") silvery fish crosswise in their bills. Many were noticed swallowing while in flight. This was ac- complished by a slight upward flip of the head with a concurrent slight opening of the bill. The fish went down while head was at highest up and movement. Many Sooty Terns were wheeling overhead at this time. We have seen 3 or 4 dark phase wedge-tails during the last 2 days. August 5--ca. 5 mi. South Johnston Islnad, 4 l/2 to 5 hays out Pearl Harbor High winds and choppy sea today. Birds very scarce. The wedge-tails that I have seen today are moving so fast it' s hard to keep up with them. This appears to be due to the high winds. The speed of the birds flight evidently depends on the strength of the wind. 1447. 1 Wedge-tailed Shearwater. 1525. Very large flock flying very low over water, dashing back and forth, over school of 500 + flying fish, birds never appearing above the horizon ca. 45+ Wedge-tails, 30+5 Sooty Terns, 25+5 Shearwaters or petrels incident 1 fired. 1630. 2 Wedge-tailed Shearwaters. (Wedge-tailed Shearwater) 3 Gould, P. J. The ship was moving at a fairly constant speed of 8.5 knots between these observations . //Theory// A shearwater flying ca. 5’ above the water can probably detect another bird the same height above the water at about 5 miles range. Shearwaters wander about the ocean singly or in groups of 2—4- in a normal and stable hunting flight pattern. When they come upon a food source their behavior changes faster flying, more up and down soaring, etc. This attracts other birds to the food source. Other birds should be attracted from as far away as they can see the feeding bird-- (at least 5 miles by the above figuring and since they get higher than 5’ on occasion this observation distance should be greater. The above data shows that no birds were seen 38 minutes before the flock was reached or ca. 60 minutes after the flock nad passed (since this flock was near si^ip for ca. 5 min. ) . At 8.5 knots this means that there were no birds on either side of the flock (in two directions at least) for 8.5 miles on one side and ca. 5-^ miles on the other. So this might indicate effective dispersal capacity for the birds and if the birds used it to perfection there should be 1 bird per area= =a circle with a 5 mile radius. (Roughly this would mean that the birds could effectively utilize the area with 1 bird every 5 miles. "If birds were at maximum deployment then only 5 birds could probably utilize each food source." September 6--2nd day out Oahu, Hawaiian Is., Pacific Ocean Watching these and other shearwaters and Petrels today it appears that a majority are following along the path of the wavetroughs. They appear to change troughs frequently to preserve a straight course (always Gould, P . J . 1963“ (Wedge-tailed Shearwater) 4 heading same direction. ) We have seen other birds which have a dorsal appearance of Wedge-tails with the dark primaries but beneath they are much whiter with much more extensive white under the wings and much more white around the head. One seemed to have a light colored bill and I called it a Pink-footed Shearwater It should be checked to see if any species of Wedge-tail gets this pattern below (an exceptionally light light-phase) 1553- Sighted flock of birds which included 10+ Wedge-tails, 5+ Bonin Petrels, 125 + 5 Terns and 1 Frigate-bird. No fish school was noticeable and none of the birds were seen to go to the water. The wedge-tails would be gliding rapidly along one direction then make a "U" turn and make another pass over the area they had just gone over. These passes would be over fairly large stretches of water. Every once in a while the whole group (which was flying mostly as a unit with only a few straglers) would begin milling about in a tight series of circles. They would be closer to the water during this manouver and use their wings more often. Apparently at these points they had sighted the fish school near the surface, but still too deep to attack. September 7--Pacific Ocean, 2 days out Oahu, Hawaiian I. 1520. Flock consisting of 40+ Wedge-tails, 3+ Pink-footed Shearwaters, 1 Bonin Island Petrel and 25 Sooty Terns. These birds were feeding on flying fish. 1530. Large flock consisting of 1 Bulwer’s Petrel, 50 + 10 Wedge-tails, 200 + 25 Sooty Terns, 3 White Terns, 2 Tropicbirds, 1 Dark-rumped Petrel. All of these birds were darting back and forth (except Tropicbirds) over a huge school of flying fish. These flying fish kept breaking surface in all directions. We observed this flock for over l/2 hour. All the birds were chasing and catching flying fish, of 3 Wedge-tails Gould, P . J . 1953 " (Wedge -tailed Shearwater) 5 collected, all had stomachs filled with flying fish (none had wings on them). The wedge-tails would fly low and fast over the fish and either hit a fish in mid air or (more commonly) they would splash into the water and chase the fish by hopping and jumping along with fore and bill thrusts until the fish was captured. Once a fish was caught the bird would immediately rise and swallow the fish in mid air. No precision diving from high in the air was noted. Groups of Shearwaters would occasionally be noticed forming on the water. These birds did not feed but went through preening movements and some wing stretching. There were always birds in the air. In general these sitting birds would be joined by other birds periodically, and a few would leave the sitting group from time to time. No single birds were ever noted sitting on the water. Much more flapping was required while the birds were actively catching fish than when hunting. September 8--Pacific Ocean, k days out Oahu, Hawaiian Is. Following is a series of observations made by Roger Clapp while on watch: 05^4 10 Wedge-tails group of individual birds flying in from the NNW and then returning in the same direction.

Large flock consisting of 200 + 10 Wedge-tails, 20 Terns, 7 Frigate-birds, 1 adult Red-footed Booby, 9 Imm. Boobies. Huge school of lfying fish plus what appears to be larger fish in the water. At one spot a dead fish (white belly up) was seen floating just beneath the surface in a cloud of blood. There were sharks at this place. The wedge-tails were flying (gliding) back and forth in large circles over a considerable area. No single birds were seen more than 200 yards from the flock. In other words all the birds were incorporated into the one flock and no birds were feeding as lone individuals. On two occasions at least sitting flocks were observed. There were always on the outside of the feeding flock and no flying fish were seen around them. In other words the resting birds sat just outside the feeding area. One of these resting flocks has over 6 5 birds at one point. Birds would occasionally leave ;this flock and join the feeding birds and conversely some feeding birds would leave the feeding flock and join the resting flock. Wliile on the water the birds would do preening movements and frequently hold up their wings for several seconds at a time. Upon taking off the birds would first raise their wings and shake them than with one or two hops into the wind they would rise up and join the feeding flock. One wedge-tail was seen with a bright red tag extending from the leg under the tail (PJG) . (Wedge- tailed Shearwater) 7 Gould, 1963“ After about an hour the flock had become widely dispersed and by this time the birds were soaring (no wing flapping) over much larger areas than when actively feeding. We have noticed that these Shearwaters while hunting often rise 10-15 or 20 feet above the water surface while banking for a turn. While these birds were feeding they did not do this, but usually remained fairly close to the water. After the fish school had quit jumping and the flock was spreading out, some shearwaters could be seen going up as high as JO Or 40 feet while banking. This is probably so they can get a good look around to see where the fish school had gone by seeing where other birds were displaying actual feeding behavior as opposed to hunting behavior. Earlier in the day we had observed a Wedge- tail to glide up over 100' in the air then after a few seconds set its wing and glide down to the water surface.

One was a lightphase Wedge-tail floating belly up and the othr was a Dark-rumped Petrel floating in a normal back updposition. On at least 3 occasions other light phased Wedge-tails joined the Wedge-tail floating belly up and found a small group around it. Not once did they attempt to form a flock around the Petrel which was in a more normal position. January 4, 1964 - -Pacific Ocean, 2nd day out Oahu, Hawaiian Is. One individual was seen at 0732 today. January ^--Pacific Ocean, 3 rd day out Oahu, Hawaiian Is. A total of l4 birds were seen today. Two were in a flock of Tern, Frigatebird and Storm Petrel. Of them the two shearwaters were in close association only with the Harcourt * s Storm Petrel f or a short time . All the Wedge-tails we have seen are apparently first year birds. The upper wing coverts are all white tipped and give a different light and dark pattern to the wing. January ^--Pacific Ocean, 4th day out Oahu, Hawaiian Is. 9 individuals seen today.

J. 19 W Dark Phase Wedge-tailed Shearwater 1 August 3--Ca. 2 days out from Pearl Harbor, S and W While watching a flock of ^-0 + 5 Sooty Terns I saw what I was 80 per cent sure was this species. 2 birds for the most part staying together. A large school of flying fish broke the surface. At one point a flying fish arose directly in the path of one of the Shearwaters. The shearwater neared slightly, caught up with the flying fish and it looked as if the bird grasped the fish with its bill. At the start of contact both fish and bird dropped into the water and the bird stayed in the water for several minutes. This happened quite a distance off ship, but I was watching through the 25+ Spotting scope as I’m sure the bird at least caught the fish and probably ate it. (or Christmas Island Shearwater? ) --Pacific Ocean Grid Are a- -Number 6 Large flock sighted at 1613 , ca. 20+ in flock milling about over the water. Sooty Terns were overhead and 5+ Wedge-tails and at least 1 Bonin Island Petrel were in the flock. This is the first grouping of this species we have seen--all others have been singles or doubles. Gould, P. J. I953~ Bonin Island Petrel 1 August ^5--ca. 100 mi. SW Johnston Island, Pacific Ocean These birds have become more and more common the farther we get from Hawaii. The gray back is quite visable. They are very rapid flyers, moving much faster than nay Shearwater I have seen. Although they generally do more flapping than do Shearwaters, they occasionally do a lot of gliding. Even when gliding they are much faster than shearwaters. Their wing beats are also much more rapid. In flight the ventral surface of the wing has a dark hashmark extending diagonally into the middle center of the wing. This species is easily told at a distance from the Wedge-tailed Shearwater by the extremely bright white underparts, more rapid flight and smaller size. Another good mark appears to be a dark patch extending from the nape down the side of the neck like a 3 jk collar. January ^--Pacific Ocean 2nd day out Oahu, Hawaiian I.

The Red-tailed Tropicbird seems to be the most abundant. The White-tailed has a call that sounds like a high-pitched but throaty "kik" . The Red-tailed has a harsher and somewhat lower call somewhat like Tt keck n which is often given along with another shorter and lower note making a double call. I have not heard the White-tails giving a double call. Saw 2 adult Red- tails accompanied by a first year bird (lighter bill color, much blackish on wings, no long deck feathers). Evidently a family group since they stayed together. In the water the tropicbirds ride high with head held erect, almo starched over back, and tail held up so as no part touched the water. At 1207 saw a white-tail sitting in water on starboard side close to ship. As we approached it got up and flew away in direction of boat and landed again we caught up with it at 1218 on port side.

February 7--Pacific Ocean, 1 day SE Johnston Island 6 birds observed today. One bird observed feeding at 0844. Made at least 6-10 dives, 2 from at least 100 yds. up adn the bird half closed its wings steering with wings and tail. Did not break fall completely submerged in water with great splash, but did not remain in water for longer than 2 seconds. A series of shorter dives were also made. One bird after starting its dive altered its direction to more of an incline and speeded down evidently having fish in sight at all times. It was noted to check itself in mid-dive several times but this appeared to be due to movement of prey rather than trying to reduce speed on part of bird. February 8--Pacific Ocean, Grid Area SW Johnston Is. 2 birds seen today. One was seen feeding in front of rain squall as the squall caught up it sat on the water and was not seen to get up as squall surrounded it .

J anuary 7 — Pacific Ocean, 5th day out Oahu, Hawaiian I. 5 individuals seen today. One bird at 0938 was fishing by diving into the water from heights of ca. 10-20 feet by making shallow passes over the waves. It would plunge bill first into a school of flying fish. The Bird at 1555 flew around the ship, but never too close, and on 2 occasions it settled into the water near a box that had been dumped overboard earlier. January 8- -Pacific Ocean, 6th day out Oahu, Grid Area 1 bird at 0652 milling and feeding on flying fish, calling as diving.

February 11- -Pacific Ocean, Grid Area SW Johnston Island 1 sub-adult (collected) and 1 imm. seen today. The imm. was observed to dive, spiralling almost straight down from ca. 4o ! without breaking spee^L, then remained on water for some time. The first bird was observed to fly together with an Immature Red-footed Booby for some time. The Red-foot usually if not always followed the masked. Febru ary 13 1 adult at 0924 flying RE at 30’ February 15 1 adult collected at 13^-8. February l6--Pacific Ocean One adult sitting on a piece of drift wood at l8l4. March 3--Pacific Ocean One bird at 1051 in with dispersing flock of terns. Brown Booby 1 ■Gould, 1955 J angary > --Pacific Ocean, 1st day out Oahu, Hawaiian Is. 3 individuals were recorded toady. One was seen feeding near entrance to Pearl Harbor. January 8 - -Pacific Ocean, 6 th day out Oahu, Grid Area One possible Imm. seen today but identification not positive. F ebruary 3 --Pacific Ocean, 1st day out Oahu, Hawaiian I. 3 individuals observed. One sitting on a bouy at entrance to Pearl Harbor. February 5- -Pacific Ocean, 3rd day out Oahu 1 at 1658 , circled ship once, appeared to be food searching other than actually heading some place. February 12- -Pacific Ocean, near Johnston-Sand Island 2 birds flying together at 1621. Quite close to Johnston Island. March 2- -Pacific Ocean, 1st day out Oahu One bird sitting on a bouy at entrance to Pearl Harbor. Red-footed Booby 1 Gould, 1964 J anuary ^--Pacific Ocean, 2nd day out Oahu, Hawaiian I. One individual was seen today at 1229 flying ca. 30' over the water and heading ENE. This was almost an adult bird but still had some brownish throughout tail. J anuary 6 — Pacific Ocean, 4th day out Oahu, Hawaiian I. 6 birds seen today. One adult, a subadult and 3 juveniles. 1 juv. and 1 subadult were collected. From 1727 until 1737 there were 3 birds flying arund together. They were always very close together. 1 adult, 1 subadult and 1 juvenile. The adult and the juvenile were seen at 1716 and were probably joined by the subadult shortly after we first lost sight of them. These three birds were flying ar und at the same time a subadult booby was collected but they were quite far away from this bird. About 1810 just before it was too dark to see, a booby that was probably of this species spent 5 minutes trying to land on the ship. It made repeated runs of 2 high masts on the ship. January 7.- -Pacific Ocean, 5th day out Oahu, Hawaiian I. 2 Imm. collected. One of them (l402) had a flying fish in its bill when it was picked up and had probably tried to regurgitate it. January 8- -Pacific Ocean, 6th day out Oahu, Grid Area 3 birds seen today, 2 at 1230 and one at 1817 . The one at 1817 circled over the ship several times as if trying to land and roost on the rear mast. J anuary 9- -Pacific Ocean, 7th day out Oahu, Grid Area 10 birds seen today. 3 collected.

J anuary ± 6 - -Pacific Ocean, l4th day out Oahu, ca. 1 day HE Johnston I. 4 birds observed today. One bird was observed in the evening catching flying fish that were scared up by the ship. February 3--Pacific Ocean, 1st day out Oahu, Hawaiian I. 2 birds observed just before sunset, both subadults flying around ship trying to land. One actually landed after sunset. 1 bird caught shortly after (ca. 1950 ) dark was roosting on railing of ship. Caught and banded and released. Head tucked under back feathers. February 4--Pacific Ocean, 2nd day out Oahu, Hawaiian I. One bird (possibly same one banded last night, ), left roosting place on rail at 0505 a.m. in response to presence of observer. One adult seen at 0559* February 5~ -Pacific Ocean, 3rd day out Oahu Red-footed Booby 5 Gould, P .

February t>- -Pacific Ocean, 4th day out Oahu A total of 55 birds seen today. One group of 50+ were in with a feeding flock of Sooty Terns. Most of these ca 42+ were adults. Feeding was done by more of a chasing type of flight iow over the water. No high diving was noted. February 7 -“Pacific Ocean, 1 day SE Johnston Island 12 birds observed today (9 sightings). 4 adults and 6 immature s. One adult feeding with Sooty Terns by shallow dives interspersed with chasing over the surface . One Immature bird flew around ship after sunset apparently trying to find a roosting spot.

J anuary 5”“i > aciPic Ocean, ^rd. day out Oahu, Hawaiian, I. 7 birds seen today. A1 1 birds were singles, but at 1115 two birds came together and were chasing each other about in the air. Apparently one bird finally dropped (regurgitated) some food and the most agressive bird caught this belore it hit the water, i wonder how after these birds pirate their own species for food. One individual was over a loose flock of non-feeding birds containing shearwaters and terns. January 6 — Pacific Ocean, 4th day out Oahu, Hawaiian I. 3 individuals were seen, 2 were together. The third bird was associated with a feeding flock of sherawaters and terns. January 7--Pacific Ocean, 5th day out Oahu, Hawaiian I. 2 individuals seen, both were high in the air and about 2 miles distant. January 10— Pacific Ocean, 8th day out Oahu, Grid Area 1 add collected today with enlarges testes and sperm in the vas deferens.

February 5- -Pacific Ocean, 3rd day out Oahu 2 individuals observed 1 ad cf fishing by making acrobatic dives from 30-40 feet, apparently probing bill in water but it never hit the water with anything but the bill. 2nd bird would circle high in the air, then go down and then up again. February 12- -Pacific Ocean, near Johnston-Sand Island 2 single birds seen out over the ocean away from the Island as compared with perhaps several hundred over the island proper and the lagoon. We can see and identify this species up to 1 l/2 miles and can see them up to 2 miles from the ship. This is maximum and can only be done if you know that they are there and exactly where even then single birds could probably not be seen. 1 3/4 miles is probably maximum range for this species. February l4--Pacific Ocean, Grid Area SW Johnston Island 1 bird at 1653 ca. 500 ’ in air flying NE. February lb- -Pacific Ocean 5 birds seen today. One cf at 1550 was feeding, picked up something (squid?) off of the water. It hovered over a large object in water which may have been a black fish.

One Sooty Sighted flying at about 75 feed. It kept trying to fly into the wind, but was constantly pushed back after about 30 seconds. It tried about 4 times then gave up and flew headed SW before the wind. The wind was blowing at 15 knots at this time. 1333. One Sooty being blown SW before the wind which is still at 15 knots. This bird tried about 3-4 times to turn back into the wind, but like the last bird could only stay for about 30 seconds each time. 1429. Flock of 10 Sooty Terns drifting generally to NW, wind has died down. 1* 25 f up. 1440. Flock of 20 Sooties l f 5 T up headed E into wind. 1443. 1 S headed N joined flock moving to E. 1451. Flock of 14 W headed W 5-10* up. The wind is now at 10 knots. Evidently these birds prefer the E direction (which is generally toward Johnston Island) but can only make it when the wind is belcw 15 knots. 10 knots appears to slow them down and keep them low but they can still fly into it. January 4, 1964 --Pacific Ocean, 2nd day out Oahu, Hawaiian I. A total of 13 birds were seen today. They were in groups of 2,1,4, and 6. The group of six was seen between rain squalls and were heading into the wind apparently having trouble making very good time. January _5--Pacific Ocean, 3rd day out Oahu, Hawaiian I. A total of 7 birds were seen. All were In 1 group that was part of a loose flock containing wedge-tails, 1 Frigatebirds and 1 Harcourt's Storm Petrel. They were not feeding. January 6--Pacific Ocean, 4th day out Oahu, Hawaiian I. 10 individuals were seen. (Sootv Tern) 2 Gould, 1964 9 9 were with a feeding flock containing 3 Wedge-tails, and 1 Frigatebirds and one was with a feeding flock of 2 Wedge -tails and 1 Fairy Tern. They were feeding on squid that were breaking the surface. J anuary 8- -Pacific Ocean, 6th day out Oahu, Grid Area 1 bird heard before it got light in the morning. J anuary 9- -Pacific Ocean, 7 th day out Oahu, Grid Area 1 seen at 05^5 this morning. January 15- -Pacific Ocean, 13th day out Oahu, Johnston I. at 0230 1 bird at 0653 flying south 50-100* . J anuary 17- -Pacific Ocean, 15th day out Oahu, ca. 2 days NE Johnston Two feeding flocks observed today, 1st flock at 1329 tad 50+ Sooties, 8 Fairy Terns and 1 Masked Booby. This flock was feeding in the middles of a heavy rain squall. No flying fish were observed. The second flock at 1400 had 20 Sooties, 1 Fairy Tern, and 2 Wedge-tails. This flock was feeding at edge of a rain squall (same one as above) but was sobe times out of it and sometimes inside it. As above no flying fish were observed. Watching two birds flying together in light rain both were fLying low over the water. They began a series of movements as follows: Abruptly they would pull slightly up in the air and hesitate for a few seconds. While hesitating they would fluff out their feathers and shake their whole body at the same time. This was done 3 times by one bird and 2 times by the other. Since it was raining lightly and this act was repeated it would seem as if appeared to the observer that they were bathing rather than shaking off excess water. January l8--Pacific Ocean, l6th day out, ca. 100 miles SW Oahu 157 birds seen today. 3 feeding flocks, 1 of 85+ birds and one of 26+ birds and one of 25+ birds One non-feeding group of 15+ birds. Gould, P. J. 1964 (Sooty Tern) 3 February 3- -Pacific Ocean, 1st day out Oahu, Hawaiian I. 21 total individuals in groups of 7^6, 3,2,2 , and 1. The flock of 6 were feeding on small fish (not Hying fish). The small groups were all flying to the N, NW, or NE, probably towards Oahu. February 4 --Pacific Ocean, 2nd day out Oahu, Hawaiian I. Ill total individuals in groups of 63, 11, 11, 9 222, and 12 singles. Two birds were seen in association with 1 Fairy Tern. In general most appeared to be heading HE. February 6- -Pacific Ocean, 4th day out Oahu. 2 flocks, 1 of 40+ and 1 of 100+ birds. The flock of 100+ had about 50+ Red- footed Boobies in wit them and 1 Masked Booby. These were actively feeding. As ship approached this flock it essentially split into two groups of 40-50 birds each. Upon pressing these flocks the Sooties finally all rose into air and then departed from area. Many of the birds became scattered into smaller groups. February 7--Pacific Ocean, 1 day SE Johnston Island One flock of 7 feeding at 0708 with 1 Red-footed Booby. February 12 - -Pacific Ocean, near Johnston-Sand Island A total of 363 seen between sunrise and sunset. Thousands were seen over Sand Island proper. From l600 hours on through 2400 hours these birds were constantly abou t the ship, most heading in towards Johnston Island. A vast majority of these birds seen flying toward Johnston Island (ca. 340+) were flying very low over the water (ca. 5-10 ft.). They were at times accompanied (3 times) by Red-footed Boobies. At 2305 hours there were ca. 10 birds flying about the ship in a heavy rain squall. The rain appeared to have no effect on them although the lights we used appeared to scare ;them away. Several appeared to be confused by the lights. No feeding activity. was noticed. Gould, P. J. I9E4 (Sooty Tern) 4 We found on checking that at l/2 miles we can identify these birds to species and can see then as " terns’ 1 up to 1 mils, and if there is a flock they can be seen up to 1 l/2 miles away. February 15--Pacific Ocean, Grid Area SW Johnston Island One flock of 12 flying south low over the water. February l6--Pacific Ocean 4 birds (l and 3) seen today. March 2- -Pacific Ocean, 1st day out Oahu ca. 57 birds throughout the day. One flock of 40+ was feeding. Many of these feeding birds were being chased by Pomarine Jaegers. March 3- -Pacific Ocean, 2nd day out Oahu 24l birds. Flocks of 85 +; 55+ ; 13; 15; 32+ ; and 5. Several flocks had Hawaiian Noddy Terns mixed in with them. Most of these birds were seen before 1200. The predominant direction of flight seemed to be NE towards Oahu. Gould, P . J . I96F Gray-backed Tern 1 February 3 - -Pacific Ocean, 1 st day out Oahu, Hawaiian I. 1 bird flying SW at 1609. Gould, P . J . 1 9 &r Hawaiian Noddy Tern 1 January -Pacific Ocean, 2nd day out Oahu, Hawaiian I. One bird seen at 1010 flew around the ship once and then left. Flight pattern is quite different from that of Common Noddy Tern, being much lighter with faster and more rapid wing beats. It resembles a stron Storm Petrel flight. March 3 --Pacific Ocean, 2nd day out Oahu 9 birds altogether. Most seemdd to be associated fairly closely with Sooty Terns. Several actually in the same flock feeding. Gould, P. J. Common Noddy Tern 1964 February 5--Pacific Ocean, 34d day out Oahu 1 bird seen flying fairly steadily towards Johnston Island (SW). Gould, P. J. 1965 “ Fairy Tern 1 J anuary ^--Pacific Ocean, 2nd day out Oahu, Hawaiian I. One individual was seen at 1537 flying ENE. It did not stay around for more than one minute. January 6- -Pacific Ocean, 5th day out Oahu, Hawaiian I. One bird was seen feeding on squid with 2 Wedge-tails and 1 Sooty Tern at 1236. Januar y 17 --Pacific Ocean, 15th day out, ca. 2 days NE Johnston 12 birds seen today. Most were in feeding flocks with Sooty Terns and 2 Wedge-tailed Shearwaters. This species remained closer to the water for longer stretches of time than did the sooties. They never went up in the air as high nor as often as the sooties. They also follow a straighter path than the sooties. Not making as many circles and cutbacks. January l8--Pacific Ocean, l6th day, ca. 100 mi. SW Oahu 1 bird in with feeding flock of Sooty Tern. February ^--Pacific Ocean, 2nd day out Oahu, Hawaiian I. 8 individuals seen today. Most were following near Sooty Terns. One acutally was in company with 2 Sooty Terns. One was observed feeding. All were flying fairly low (ca. less than 30 ' )• February l6--Pacific Ocean 3 birds today, 2 at 1550 feeding and one at 1701. No flying fish observed under 2 feeding birds. March 2- -Pacific Ocean, 1st day out Oahu One bird in with feeding flock of Sooty Terns. March 3- -Pacific Ocean, 2nd day out Oahu 2 individuals, one at 0650 and one at 0655. Gould, P . J . igur Pomarine Jaeger 1 January 3--Pacific Ocean, 1st day out Oahu, Hawaiian I. These birds have been following behind the ship all day. The highest count being 12 at 1405 hours. Each bird appears to have a different plumage pattern. Quite a few were adults, but many were sub-adults. Both dark phase and light phase (extremes of both) were present in about equal numbers (light phase may have been slightly more predominant). These birds were attracted to the garbage thrown overboard, but were occasionally seen in front of the ship. They were attracted to bits of white paper thrown over the side of the ship. None were observed to attract the Albatross or each other. Many were noticed to sit in the water. Collected 1 Imm. January l8--Pacific Ocean, l6th day out, ca. 100 mi. SW Oahu. One dark phase bird seen today, circled ship a few times, then departed. February 3 — Pacific Ocean, 1st day out Oahu, Hawaiian I. At least 4 birds around. 4 (2 light phase and 2 dark phase) observed at 1254. These birds have been following the ship all day as have the Albatross. They often fly off and sit quietly in the water for extende d periods of time. One was observed to scratch its head while in flight. No parasite behavior noted. Dark phase birds have been more noticeable. March 2 - -Pacific Ocean, 1st day out Oahu. The largest number seen at any one time was 21. This was when the birds gathered at garbage that had been dumped overboard. Most of these birds were adult light phased individuals. A few were adult dark phase and one juvenile bird was seen. At l8l8 a feeding flock of Sooty Terns was found. There were at least 10 Jaegers mixed in this flock chasing the terns.
