"Enormous numbers of Puffinus and Stercorarius followed the young herring inshore 

 towards the end of September, the former being almost exclusively P. borealis, with a few P. 

 stricklandi, the latter consisting principally of &. parasiticus and S. pomarinus in every stage 

 of coloration. The Jaegers were shyer, but the Shearwaters very tame, so that a dozen birds 

 were killed by the discharge of two guns from a launch. About a hundred specimens were 

 secured, and thousands could easily have been killed if necessary."
