Sequarium? on slope. While laying out the study plots three unattended Sooty eggs were found. 600 Sooties banded 8:30-12:00. One Christmas Island Shearwater on hill near Brown Booties during banding. Feb 5 We made arrangements with the Special Services people (through Sgt. Thomas) to be taken out in a small boat off the shore of Johnston in hopes of picking the gull up in the water. A Mr. Hunt of the Navy picked us up here at 5:30 pm and after some searching we found the gull far out in the vicinity of a platform off the SE corner of Johnston. We could not get near the bird as it was sitting in the reef area and it was low tide. Also many sharks (4-6') in the area -
