A fellow from Australia (Simon Mustoe) contacted one of our researchers =
to let him know about great shearwaters being seen in large numbers off =
southern Australia.  This is highly unusual since great shearwaters are =
usually only stragglers (or explorers) in that area.  He has written an =
article about the sightings: =
http://bird-o.com/2011/04/03/the-great-shearwater-invasion/ and was =
hoping that more shearwaters were being satellite tagged to see if this =
is a larger trend.  Alas, no satellite tags are active on any of the =
great shearwaters.
