The appearance of this coastal bird is significant. That‘one 
bird was seen in Sector 2 at 35°00% 122°45'W demonstrates the ability 
of these birds to go to sea over a hundred miles from land. The other 
birds were seen in Sector 6 within 70-100 miles from the Channel Islands. 
All three birds probably represent birds that were based in the Channel 
Islands during the past breeding season.

The Phalaropes, in very low density, were moving south; un¬ 
doubtedly in migration.

Eighty percent of-the Jaeger/Skuas were recorded in Sector 2 
on 29 September. These birds are very abundant to the north from 
Monterey Bay south at this time. Thus it is to be expected that 
they occur primarily in the northern sector of the grid.

As can be readily seen over 80 percent of the terns were recorded 
in the north east and north central sectors. The numbers recorded 
during this survey represent an almost 200 percent drop in numbers over 
last survey. These birds may represent the last of the Arctic Terns 
migrating south.

These birds were probably Xantus Murrelets or Cassin's Auklets. 
The distribution of these small alcids has been the same over the 
summer and fall.
