Petrel. It had a lighter back, white on the underwings was narrower, 
and there was a dark patch on the abdomen. The bird arced up much 
higher than the Cook's Petrel. One that I saw went up as high as a 
Sooty Shearwater. The flocks that were seen today were composed mainly 
of Sooty Terns, Juan Fernandez Petrel, and Cook's Petrels. They were 
fairly small. The Sooty Shearwaters were still heading south which 
is to be expected. The Cook's Petrels and Juan Fernandez were flying 
more normally (or like a petrel should) but that may have been due to 
the fairly high wind (20 knots). The birds except for the Sooty Shear- 
waters seemed to be going in about any direction. Most of the Juan 
Fernandex Petrel seemed to be going in a generally southern direction. 
I saw one all dark storm petrel this morning. I think it could have 
been a Sooty Storm Petrel. 
October lb, 1964 --The sea was moderate and choppy and the sky was 
partly cloudy all day. The number of sightings went down today. One 
large flock was seen today. It contained Sooty Terns , A Fairy Tern, 
Juan Fernandez Petrel, Cook T s Petrels, and Shearwater-Petrels . Some 
of the Shearwater-Petrels were all dark. In one of the smaller flocks 
seen today there were four Fairy Terns. Fewere Sooty Shearwaters were 
seen today. Warren saw another Mottled Petrel today. He also saw two 
all dark Petrels. They flew too much like a Petrel to be called 
Park Wedgetails. This afternoon I saw a jaeger sp. It was all dark, no 
barring was seen, the central tail feathers were painted and fairly long.
