De Benedictis 1964 58 27 Jan Pt Espinosa, Fernandina Island, Galapagos a lot after the sun went down. Bowl movements not frequent but very soft. 28 Jan Don't feel as sore this A.H. but stomach upset. Will stay in bed most of the day. Stomach gassy, like flu. Don't eat much. Not much happening here. Dr. Miller feels the comment watch is done - and I wouldn't have been any help anyway. Only yellow warblers singing, and this in lagoon. A lot of them and the finches go way out on the lava to feed. Saw Finches on the iguana again yesterday, and almost everyone else has also. Miller, Carpenter, and Ortiz (an Ecuadorian Student) have captured Dromicus. About noon a hawk came into camp and landed on the mangrove. Saw a dove. Large #s of Frigate Birds (all one size, it's magnificent). were circling over the pool Walker poisoned 2 days ago, with 2-3 Brown Pelicans. Camp area is on a sandy (coarse sand) beach on a lava point at SW (SW?) corner of Fernandina. The lava near the camp is black, porpy, and easy to traverse. Much brotten up by tubes and many pools (all tidal) extend to atleast 1/4 mile inland and many of these have mangroves around them. Sealions move into these at high tide, and most contain fish, red land crabs, and Marine Iguanas. Cormorants are dispersed along the coast as are green herons, but perquins are conc. mostly south of the point in more rocky areas. There is a Frigate Bird roost in the mangroves here, (not us today, or shea...) In concentrations on shore. Large #s pass off shore.
