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

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.

Trevor and I share a room. Boh Fleet and Peter Marshall share a room and Bill
irts has a double room to himself. Spent the rest of the day relaxing in
Waikiki. We are supposed to leave port about 1300 tomorrow. Everything
seems to he going very smoothly.

The preceding bird identlf Icatlons of Bonin Island Petrel and Dark-romped
Petrel are not to be trusted. They may have been either of these species or
even Manx Shearwaters. Wedge-tailed Shearwaters are easily recognized as ere
the trooicbirds and Boobies. Bulwer’s Petrel and Christinas island Shearwaters
are also hard to tell apart at this stag© and these observations should be
looked at with the proverbial grain of salt until we get to know them better.
We have not hit any rough weather and we ere getting excellent cooperation
from the personnel of the ship.

We are finding that the beat observation Is from the helicopter deck at the
bow of the ship. 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.

Above is proposed arid coverage pattern for this phase of the Pacific project.
The TAG 39 will make between 9 and 11 knots until the grid is reached.
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. This first trip we plan to do a lot of collecting so
this schedule may be hard to keep.

Sighted large flock of birds (ca 100+) milling bbout. 75+ Sooty
Terns, 25+ Shearwaters and Petrels (enc lading 1 Wedge-tailed and 1
Christmas Island at least). 10-15 Sooty LTerns flew part, none had tags.
Qs the ship approached the flock (ca 1000-2000 yards, all of the
Booties rose higher into the air and proceeded to fly in a ste
procession to the SW. Evidently the ship had seared the school of
fish and the birds left fear greener pastures.’
The Shearwaters broke up into l’a and 2*s and scattered.
The flock was staying primarily in the area of a rain cloud shadow.
We would see no fish jumping,

§., 1967 —Pearl Harbor, Oahu, Hawaiian Islands
This is the second trip of the Johnston Island grid survey. There are
five of us from the Smithsonian aboard. Dr. C. Ply, myself, Bobert Fleet,
Boger Clepp, and Pat Elliot, he ship left its birth at 0800 and proceeded
toward the Harbor entrance.
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.
Had a lot of trouble about getting the University of Hawaii boys set up.

Upon leaving the dock at Johnston Island we noted a mixed flock of
Sooty Tern end Frlgatebirds directly over Sand Island. We kept this flock
in sigh *and noted the time when we could no longer see the birds or recognize
them. These times were compared with the ship cherts and established
accurate milage froi? each check point to the flock of birds.

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

One bird seen at 1^30 hours. This bird flew around the ship once and investigated
a dye marker in the water and then disappeared. It was observed to have a "comfort

January 18- -Pacific Ocean l 6 th day out Oahu, ca. 100 mi. SW Oahu
k birds around in morning. Various numbers from 3 throughout the rest of the day.
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.
February ^--Pacific Ocean, 2nd day out Oahu, Hawaiian Is.
1 bird observed 1503* Collected 1 at l600.. Ad. 9 with 1 corpus leutra (046h).

Fe bruary 15--Pacific Ocean, Grid Areq SW Johnston Island
2 birds. One at 07^5-09^-8, and another at 1618 .
The one at 09^-8 opened bill as if to yawn then proceeded to the water. 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.

Wedge-tailed Shearwater

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. )

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.

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

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

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.

0604 Small hunting flock of 10+ Wedge-tails

1735. 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) .

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.

second, third, fourth fifth through tenth birds in rapid succession. Once saw a
lone bird sitting in the water that was not joined by other birds. It still sat for

Two birds had been shot and were floating about 60 yards apart. 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.

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.

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

have been singles or doubles.

Bonin Island Petrel

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.

Aug ust 3”-ca. 2 mi. out Pearl Harbor (S and W)
We have been seeing both species off and on all the time we have been at sea.
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.

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.

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.

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.

August 12 — Pacific Ocean, Grid Area off Johnston Island
1253. 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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
