Five -were 
Jaegers were seen occasionally (9) in both non-grid sections, 
recorded as Pomarine Jaegers, while four were recorded as Jaeger sp. One Pomarine 
J^oge;: was observed one mile off shore in the northern section, 
Red Phalarope 
Red Phalaropes (13) were commonly seen in the southern portion of the non¬ 
grid area. All occurred singly or in pairs. Once again none were sighted in the 
not w.:arn section. 
As in the previous cruises Herring Gulls were infrequently observed near 
land; only close to the grid area were they commonly sighted. On this cruise 
37 were logged (9 adults: 1 immature), 34 in the northern section and 3 in the 
southern section. Herring Gulls in the southern section were greatly reduced 
in numbers from previous cruises, -is far as other kinds of gulfs were concerned, 
great numbers of them (est. 1200), mostly California Gulls (15o positively 
identified), were aggregated close to shore along the Santa Baroara channel, gome 
of •.which, briefly followed the ship* No California Gulls were sighted in the 
southern non-grid section# In the northern section also observed were 11 Western 
Gulls (aaults), 3 Glaucous-winged Sulls (immatures), 1 Ring-billed Gull (immature) 
and 48 Black-legged Kittiwakes (1 adult :3 immature). In the southern section, on 
the other hand. Western Gulls were more commonly sighted (21, 1 adult: 1 immature. 
1 collected), while only one adult Black-legged Kittiwake was seen (collected). 
Contrasting this survey to the one before it. Black-legged Kittiwakes were 
extremely abundant in the prior one (1109 birds) in the same southern area where 
observations were made. In the previous report, I stated that an exceptional 
^a^dlng area was responsible for the large aggregation of birds. -I also ruled
