HOWLAND 
Annotated List 
LLACH'S PETREL (????) 
Feb. 2, 1965 ---- Huber — "When we first approached the island 
on Jan. 30 1 saw 3 and maybe 4 storm petrels (Leach's 
type) less than a mile off the island. On the night 
of Feb. 1 two storm petrels came aboard the ship but 
the sailors released them before we knew about them. " 
Jan. 31, 
1965 —- Woodward -- " Rest day at sea before Howland. 
Saw a storm petrel this morning that had a black line 
through the white rump. This is supposedly a Leach's 
Petrel "

1965 —Hackman recheck " Woodward and Huber saw 3 oh 
4 as we approached Howland Island for our boat landing. 
They were not able to get a good look at any of the birds 
because of the other pressing duties." 
1965 ---- Hackman recheck " The ship's crew said that two 
small birds who desciption fits this category (storm 
petrel ) flew on board last night. One was thrown back 
overboard. The fate of the other was not known. The 
ship lay about 4 miles off the island last night." 
(ed. comment - Huber's note apparently refers to his 
sighting on the 1st although this is not entirely 
clear.)
