Westport Seabirds, July 14, July 15 2000

Here are totals for July trips off Westport, WA - good conditions. Left
number is
14th, right is 15th. Buller's is earliest we've had on these trips. Fulmars
increased over spring - were these non-breeders which spent the winter
farther south? Absence of Leach's Storm-Petrel and Tufted Puffin, just one
Cassin's is 'interesting'. Low numbers of a number of other regulars.
