frigates do.
We also have seen frigates
harassing wedge tails as they come
in at night, which is surprising
since the size of the bird is

April 26 - While checking plots we found
an albino Scoty chick near
plot #3. We removed it and
will try to rear it to an
age that a skin can suitably
be made of it.
Found a fifth Bulwer's Petrel
in a deep hole on the right side

was making a curious humming
sound, made more resonant by
the chamber, probably.
April 27 - Departed Johnston Island 10 PM
via MATS N-28; arrived Hickam
AFB, Honolulu, 1 am. Dr. Ely
met me here with permits for
the 1000 live ticks
