Birds noted 200 to 400 miles N.E. [Northeast] from Cape Race, Newfoundland.
Fulmar Petrels
Oceanites oceanica (?)

June 27 [June 27, 1911]
  Mr. Wilson, a fellow passenger, saw a fine large ice berg [iceberg] very near at hand
at 6 A.M. and, a little later, a Whale spouting. When I came on deck
at 9 A.M. Fulmars were in sight in several directions. I saw them
frequently through the entire forenoon, perhaps 50 in all, mostly singly, never
more than 2 or 3 together, all but one on wing skimming low over the
water with quick, nervous wing beats and short, alternating periods of gliding
on set wings. I also saw three Mother Cary's Chickens (probably Oceanites
oceanica) one in the forenoon, the other in the afternoon.

Arctic Puffins 200 miles from land.

  About 9.30 A.M. when we were fully 200 miles from Newfoundland
(the nearest land) a pair of Puffins, flying towards it at a height of
about 60 feet above the water, passed our ship so near at hand (perhaps
within 50 yards) that I had an excellent view of them.

Birds noted in mid ocean.
Oceanites oceanica?

June 28 [June 28, 1911]. This was an essentially birdless day passed almost in 
mid-ocean. I saw literally nothing save a single Mother Cary's Chicken
which I took to be a Wilson's Petrel. Several of the passengers reported
an assemblage of 50 to 75 birds of the same or similar kind -  seen early in
the afternoon hovering in a dense cluster about floating food close to our ship.
