off the Monterey Coast. It seems that this species is most abundant 
in the more northern waters of this area. 
Fulmar - Five birds were recorded off the Monterey Coast, while 
none were recorded near the channel islands or the other coastal 
areas. This indicates an almost exclusively pelagic distribution 
for this species in this area. 
Pink-footed Shearwater - Two birds thought to be this species were 
observed off the Monterey Coast. 
Sooty Shearwater - A total of 29 birds was recorded from throughout 
the area.

Pelican-Cormorant: Fifteen Double-crested Cormorants ( Phalacrocorax 
auritus ) were observed in Long Beach Harbor. A total of 105 Brown 
Pelicans was observed. Seventy-seven of these were near the channel 
islands while none were recorded off the Monterey Coast. 
Phalarope: Only four birds, either Red or Northern Phalaropes, 
were observed off the Monterey Coast. At about 2200 on the 13th 
(35°2VN by 122°03'W) approximately 3° were observed sitting on the water. 
They were found by searchlights scanning the water and when struck by the 
light they would rise off the water and flutter around before landing 
again. 
Jaegers: Five Pomarine Jaegers were recorded, three off the Monterey 
Coast and two near the channel islands.
