Below, I am listing birds seen on pelagic trips out of Manteo, NC. Since the 
lists are fairly short, I am including both days. The first day was a 
straight shot out into the Gulf Stream. The second followed  the edge of the 
Gulf Stream for White-faced Storm Petrel. We did not get the White-faced 
Storm Petrel, but we did OK anyway.

BTW, two gadfly petrel zooties are seen fairly regularly on NC trips --  
Fea's Petrel (formerly called Soft-plumaged petrel) and Herald Petrel 
(sometimes called Trinidade Petrel). The former is more frequently seen in 
late spring or early summer. The Atlantic Puffin that we saw 8/14 was 
unprecedented in NC waters in summer.
