Amerman, Kenneth 1963 Weather prevented note taking in A. M. General observations-- albatross flying in close all day; always one to four in air. Frigates-- very little activity, never more than two to three in air at once, mostly just flying around the roost area. Boobies--wind appeared to knock some from their perches, as one or two would get up just as a strong gust passed by. Shorebirds in bushes and interior areas all day, some noted flying around over the island. Much nodd activity low over the vegetation; one large feeding flock of 60+ individuals plus another 60+ scattered individuals passed by about 9:45 a.m. Hardly any on shore all day. Possibly one tropicbird seen far out over the south end, heading east. Two seals went cavorting by, 1005. November 8--After debating whether to put in some more time on the towers, Bill and I banded from 1030 to 1230 and from 1330 to 1700. Got 172 albatross over 100 of them new bands, rest recoveries. Laysans have suddenly appeared in numbers, and in the interior parts of the island, between the runway and beaches. Also saw many seals up in the edges of the vegetation on the north and east sides; many untagged. Appeared very sluggish. Occasional sprinkles, high winds. November 9--Arose late after heavy date last night. We went out banding gooneys again, 1600-1700. Laysan's in in even greater numbers; some now in antenna field and two behind barracks. We got about forty new birds, getting nearly 100 % along the west beach and in the interior, missing
