C. G. Loran Station, Sand Island, Johnston Island Atoll July 28, 1963 Checked Wedge-tailed Shearwater burrows. Banded and color marked one hundred adult and one hundred immature Sooty Terns. No trunk came in on the Mats flight today so a message was sent out trying to locate it or get it shipped from Hickam. July 29, 1963 Banded and marked one Red-tailed Tropicbird during the morning. Checked the Wedge-tail burrows before dark. Banded and color marked four hundred immature and two hundred adult Sooty Terns after dark. The immatures are not in sufficient quantity to catch and they also fly up quite readily. Also their is a problem of dislocating them from their territory. July 30, 1963 Learned this morning that the trunk was shipped by mistake to Kwajelien and was now at the MATS terminal on Johnston. It was brought over after lunch. Everything inside was in fine condition. A message stating that it had arrived was sent to Cmd. Doyle to pass on to Mr. Bushman and DTC. The rest of the color leg markers for Sooty Terns were cut and put together. When these are used up we will have no more until the new supply arrives from D. C. I now estimate we have about a thousand five hundred left (1½). A few Wedge-tailed Shearwater markers were cut. During the day a few movie frames were made of young frigates and Shearwaters.
