Hi Folks,

Here's the trip list from the January 22nd pelagic trip out of Westport, WA.
As most already know, a SHY ALBATROSS was photographed and seen well by all
on board. This is possibly the same individual seen off California in
August 1999 and off Oregon in 1996. Numbers of most of the expected winter
species were low, especially Fulmars and Kittiwakes. Notably, however,
Laysan Albatross outnumbered Black-footed Albatross and it was good see the
Cassin's Auklet numbers.
