Observation details
Generally this species is one of the most frequently encountered seabirds on the voyage, however, on WPO 2011 there were sightings on only thirteen dates which was markedly lower than, for example, in 2010 when birds were recorded on twenty days. There were only two dates when more than one hundred individuals (ie B (101-1000)) were seen, with these sightings being on day 2 from New Caledonia to Rennell (28 April) and three days south of the Bonin Islands (12 May). The number recorded on all other days was typically a low A (11-100) or a single figure count. Most sightings were between New Ireland and the Bonin Islands when this species was recorded daily except on 9 May, ie the day of shore excursions on Chuuk. Original My Birding scientific name: Onychoprion fuscatus oahuensis
