Chapin : Wilson's Petrel in New York Harbor 6 1 



Bay, also noticed the abundance of petrels in the harbor last 

 summer. In his experience, so he told me, though they did not 

 occur there at all regularly, they were nevertheless not uncommon 

 but seldom came further south along the Staten Island shore than 

 Princes Bay. About three years before last summer, however, 

 some where observed even off Ward's Point, after a severe storm.
