A COOK'S PETREL SPECIMEN FROM CALIFORNIA

Abstract

On the morning of 17 November 1983, Bob Moon found a Cook's Petrel (Pterodroma cookii) floundering in the driveway of his seaside home at 2-2702 East Cliff Drive, Santa Cruz, Santa Cruz County, California (37°N). Moon called the Native Animal Rescue Service, a local wildlife rehabilitation center, but the bird expired before the center's volunteers could respond.
