Hi Tweets,
Below is a list of birds seen last weekend on Terry's Wahl's Wesport
Pelagic Trip. We will try to post these results to tweeters regularly to
give folks an idea of what's happening offshore.

********************
Most interesting, after the Manx Shearwater (2nd in WA this year), was
relatively
widespread distribution over the shelf of Sooty Shearwaters and Common
Murres,
reminiscent of the 'good old days'. The near-absence of Cassin's Auklets
continues. Migration of Arctic breeders apparently late.
