Tweeters-
Scott Mills and Terry Hunefeld are aboard the NOAA ship Miller Freeman
doing bird surveys. Transects cover nearshore to well offshore.

They are seeing some spectacular birds. Highlights from the last few
days include Parakeet Auklet, Thick-billed Murre, Short-tailed
Albatross, Laysan Albatross, Murphy's Petrel, Ashy Storm Petrel. Sooty
Shearwaters are back, Short-tailed Shearwaters are few. They will be in
Oregon tomorrow.
