1 Because accurate bird counts were sometimes difficult to obtain for stationary watches (i.e.. some 

 birds remained aboard or flew about the ship for extended periods), we report both the minimum 

 (min.) number of birds observed (based on subtractive values) and a conservative (cons.) number 

 based primarily on new arrivals. The actual number observed is believed to be about 20% higher than 

 the conservative count.
