My field card indicates that I saw offshore specialties Gannet, 
Kittiwake, Razorbill, and Fulmar on that trip. I may have missed a 
species, but I doubt that I would have missed two, for Rich was very 
careful to get the word spread and I would have been outside and at the 
rail for the entire trip.   On later trips that would have been regarded 
as a smallish take, but at the time the last three were very good birds, 
especially the Fulmar.

As time went on, the trips got longer, so that we could get to rougher 
water, which for some occult reason generally has the most birds.
