The species entered the area from the south- 

 east, and remained concentrated near the Ha- 

 waiian Islands during the breeding season, al- 

 though it tended to extend its range during the 

 period of peak numbers. It later withdrew from 

 the area, again toward the southeast. 



POBSP personnel have collected numerous 

 specimens from comparable latitudes west of 

 the study area. 



Pale-footed Shearwater 

 Puffinus carneipes Gould 



Status : Uncommon spring and fall migrant. 



Seven Pale-footed Shearwaters were identi- 

 fied in the study area: four in October 1964, 

 one in December 1964, and two in April 1965. 

 Probably others were overlooked, especially in 

 the spring of 1964, before we realized that the 

 species occurred in the area. The birds ap- 

 peared to be migrating, usually in the company 

 of Sooty Shearwaters. Only one of the seven 

 sightings was made in a nonmigration month. 

 Three of the four October birds were heading 

 south, and both April birds were heading north. 

 POBSP personnel have collected several speci- 

 mens at comparable latitudes west of the study 

 area.
