Marshall, 1945 Palam Megapodius laperouse called several times from the same spot. The first (above) had been walking with ease along the jagged top of a boulder. Koror 28 November. Same ridge as above, this time back at the NE base. Stopped to rest by a little valley (cleared) where there were some old Jap houses, and saw a megapode 6' away - on the other side of a rock from me. Again I noted the ease with which they stalk about the jagged rocks. Shot it with the .22 amp! 50 yds away heard & flushed 3 more - shot one with the .410 amp as it walked along the trail. Rest disappeared. (This was the spot where the cave was where I first saw them - very heavy dark jungle.) At the next little valley I flushed a little bird from the ground. It flew rapidly to a dense tree where I shot it as it sat like this: Note rounded- off hind end. It was a baby megapode - all by itself and capable of strong flight. Among the 1st
