Just a few quick additions for anyone going out into Monterey bay. On saturday
a few other interesting birds were also present. The shearwater flocks also
held several short-tailed shearwaters and one flesh-footed shearwater, while
the storm-petrel flocks had 4+ least storm petrels. There was also an
interesting dark headed Murre sitting on the rocks below the Aquarium which
may have been a thick billed although we couldn't get close enough to be
certain.

I've also heard that a pelagic out of Washington at the weekend had a Cook's
petrel.
