October l8- -The sky was cloudy with almost constant rain until about 
1500. The sea was rough with 10- l4 foot swells. This morning many 
Mottled Petrels were seen. In the high wind they really moved along. 
Their arcs were very high. Leach’s Storm Petrels were seen throughout 
the day. Most of them were headed generally in a southern direction 
along with the Mottled Petrels. Several Frigates were seen hanging 
around today. In the high wind they didn’t flop much. This afternoon 
Warren saw another Herald’s Petrel. The few Sooty Shearwaters that 
were seen were leading south as usual. 
October 19 - -The sky was partly cloudy all day. The sea was rough 
with swells up to 23 feet high. Few birds were seen today until we 
made the turn going south. A small traveling flock composed of Fairy 
Terns., Wedgetails, Juan Fernandez Petrel, Dark-rumped Petrel and Cook' 
were seen. Wedgetails were seen today for the first time in quite a 
while. Several Frigates were again seen. This afternoon a Booby sp. 
was seen by Warren, he also saw an all dark Storm Petrel. Because of 
the high seas the birds were difficult to see and follow in many cases 
Very few Sooty Shearwaters were seen.
