R. Amanman 1964 Kwajalein Atoll, Marshall Is. and one of which was a Shoveller, plus 15-20 more Sharp-tails, ~200 Ruddy Turnstones and 200 Golden Plover, 25 Tattlers. Meanwhile the rest of the group went to Little Baurdland Island (Orubebbi) to prison. more fish. They had better success there, picked up even more new species. Nov. 3 George, Larry: I went to the runway again in the afternoon, mainly after the ducks missed yesterday. It turned out to be another remarkable day of collecting; we got every new species we found. Collected were: 1 Tanderling, 3 Whistler, 2 Shovelers, 2 Duck spp., 1 Black-bellied Plover and 1 Snipe. Nov. 4 George, Larry: I returned to the runway in the early morning. Birds were very scarce in comparison to previous visits - daily cycle? Managed to collect only 3 Eutin, 1 of which appears slightly different from the Sharp-tails - head shell mid-brown rather than rufous, heavier streaking on breast. Major Thayer, the men in Security and the men of the Fire Station crash tucks who chaperoned on the last two occasions were very helpful.
