Terry Wahl kindly sent me his Black-footed and Laysan albatross records for
midwinter pelagic trips.

Month - BFAL - LAAL

Dec - 2 - 1
Jan - 31 - 11
Feb - 8 - 14

It appears that Black-footed outnumbers Laysan about 4:3 off the WA coast
in winter, or at least in the area visited by Terry's pelagic trips.
