Amerman, Kenneth--Sand I. Midway Atoll--Green I., Kure Atoll 1965 24 owl, redhead duck, unidentified duck resembling small scaup (Asiatic?), several sharp-tailed sandpipers, one pectoral, several unidentified uncollected passerines. Two mist nets have produced about twenty shorebirds in two days. Saw my first Masked Booby and Bonin Island Petrel today--latter from mist net. Unident. Procellarids on Midway most probably Bonins. October 31--Jim and Bill took me on a short tour of the study areas. Seventy-three burrows in one corner (50 feet by 50 feet) of one plot. We then rode around the beach on the flatbed, chauffeured by Gibson. Saw my first albatrosses, Black feet. We banded five. Also saw my first Hawaiian Monk Seals - one group of twelve, another pair and another single. Three new ones were tagged. Shorebirds caught in mist nets are being weighed and measured. Jim has demonstrated the preparation of both skins and skeletons. November 1--Jim and I spent the morning and part of the afternoon plotting one shearwater-petrel study grid and counting burrows. The birds seem to favor the grass clumps or grass-puncture vine associations. They seem to avoid low puncture-vine, but a few are found beneath high columns. A few are found beneath the clumps of another low-growing, 1 light-green plant. Very few were found in Scaevola. 333 active burrows, 151 inactive, 82 scrapes, average density per slot = 35. Maximum 84 and minimum 8. Later in the afternoon we rode around looking for seals and gooneys. Four new seals were tagged, new black-footed albatrosses banded, __ new recoveries. We also missed unbanded birds, making a total of __ new birds for the day and __ altogether on the island.
