Photographed Black-footed Albatross in Monterey Bay with leg bands. I called the Bird Banding Office in Marland and left a message. I would like to know where the bird was banded and how old it is. Most likely it was banded on Midway Island!

Monterey Bay Pelagic Trip

Pelagic Trip 7/24/2011.

Went on 1/2 day Pelagic trip out of Monterey California with Monterey Seabirds led by Roger Wolfe. Although overcast , I saw close up views of 2 Blue Whales, and about 5 Humpback Whales. Birds of interest were Black-footed Albatross, Sooty Shearwaters, Pink-footed Shearwaters, Norther Fulmars and Sabine's Gulls.

All-in-all, a great trip!
