Beach Patrols during 1962 covered a total distance of 731 miles and produced 1367 birds (55 species). Species are tabulated by month of occurrence and by the coastal zones in which they were found. Unusual species include Pygoscelis adeliae (first record), Pterodroma longirostris (third record), P. inexpectata, P. cooki, Procellaria cinerea, Puffinus pacificus (first record), Pelagodroma marina and Phoebetria palpebrata. The number of storm killed petrels was considerably less than in 1961.
