Foreman 1964 Sand-Johnson Feb 1 Banded 400 Bottic’s 8:30 - 11:30. The birds are sitting down on the road and to the west of the transmitter building again. They had not done this since Jan 24. Many more are roosting now, all over the island, and tonight they extended 1/2-way down the road from the trans. building. Also, they are now sitting down as soon as it gets dark rather than waiting for the moon, which is an advantage for no. 3-4 Dave found one foot with feathers growing out of [illegible] Feb 2 Banded 500 Bottic’s 9:30 - 11:30 pm. First definite Footy egg turned up in Dave's collection bag. From coloration, one on rock and one found on north slope are also Footy. Tropic bird or egg is either well again or a different bird. It has no tail feathers but is white, not suffused with the delicate pink, and seems to have a different voice.
