I estimated 127,200 Sooty Shearwaters (30,000 when I arrived + 90 per every ten seconds for 3 hours coming in from the south). At times, the feeding frenzy was about 4 miles long and extended from the surf line to at least a mile offshore.  Waaaay cool stuff!  This was spectacle birding at its best!
