Creator Transcript
  • Flesh Footed Shearwaters July 8. 1939. Took what Dr [Ian McTaggart] Cowan thinks is a flesh footed shearwater today on the Goose I. [Island] Banks. personally not sure of the Identification but [illegible word crossed out] strongly inclined to concur with Dr [Ian McTaggart] Cowan. Several other shearwaters similar to this one were seen but unfortunately not collected July 18. 1939. At Goose Islands [words crossed out] We found the Flesh Footed Shearwater to be the most common Shearwater on the Goose I [Island] Banks today and collected good series. These birds are quite easy to see [word crossed out] distinguish from the Sooty Shearwater by the heavier flight and the conspicuously light colored bill. Shearwaters were on the whole quite scarce on the bank to-day, the usual large flocks of sootys not being present.
