Black Beach, Isla Floreana, Galapagos, Ecuador
27 Jan yellow warbler are numerous. of the finchels as
surely G. fuliginosa & G. Forti. The latter
was particular common at a farm about a
20 minute walk from town, where circulas
(a plum-like fruit, also not related) were being
grown.
28 Jan Up at 4 AM for an hours walk up into the Transition
Zone & some bird netting. William, Jorge, & its cook
came along to look for vegetables at the farms higher up.
As we gained elevation the ground became less rocky &
tho soil deeper. Wetter, too. It was overcast great
of the morning it t sprinkled for a few minutes after
noon. Saw grace, lots of leman, lots of crista. a
few very large, quarled circula (which, like
the gen & lemon are introduced). On the
walk up I sight some yerkos & hifaso leglet, &
drrobes in midmorning underneath [illegible] bark
clinging to do dead limb of a circula tree.
[illegible] Forest dense 20-30 feet
max high. tho generally trees not more than,
15 feet & DBH if compact cirulas. Very dense
undergrowth especially a little lights.
Lots of trails in the forest, & we dust wallow.
Probably pigs, according to Nancy. But we
did find an burro skeleton off in the bushes.
Put up 8 nets. Caught many of tho Galapagos
finches, flycatchers & yellow warblers. Also
