them in a jam jar at home, with an assortment of collembolus
+ insect A + small spider + small thysanuran.
Mymol showed me the most fantastic spider that lives
in the old cotton field by the beach. Its abdomen: [illegible]
(more or less). More a shape a hemipteron would choose
than a spider.

Foggy, but almost sunny for awhile in late afternoon.
Early to beach, saw that duck again - Anas bahamensis
because head is brown not black, tuffy back border on wing.
Then to study plot + did lge arth. counts (19), (20) and
small arth. count 12. These counts on the west side
turns up much fewer thysanurans. The Tilleandrie
on this side seems to be shallower, not so much dead
stuff buried in sand, more is just one layer sitting
on sand.
Late afternoon did another lge arth count and sat on
hill facing NW from 5:30-6:30. Heard flock of about 4
birds go by with a few chips about 6:00; then about 2
birds with whistling wings like doves; then saw a dove. All
heading away from cotton field + orchard toward plot. Before
dusk RH saw probably Brehinius fly from down in arroyo
to opposite hill. After dark OP + I saw a lge owl
come fly above us.
Spent night near study area. During night OP heard
barn owl.
