Folks:
	Myself and Jim Edwards went on Brian Patteson's palegic trip out of Manteo, yesterday, 8/21/99.  Although it started out a little rough, T-Storms and showers before we left the dock, seas calmed and we had a great day. The following is a list of the birds we saw:
	Cory's Shearwater- 1000+
	Audubon's Shearwater-many 
	Black-capped Storm Petrel-several
	Wilson's Storm Petrel-several
	BAND-RUMPED Storm Petrel-15+
	Red Phalarope-2+
	Greater Shearwater-several
	SOUTH POLAR SKUA-4-6 birds great views
	WHITE-TAILED TROPICBIRD-2 birds, brilliant views as 
  	they  circled over the boat on seperate occassions, 1 
		bird each time.
	Bridled Terns
	Sooty Terns
	
	Thanks Brian, for a great trip!
				Regards,
				Wayne
