De Benediclis 1964 59 28 Jan. Pt. Espinoza, Fernandina Island, Galapagos most of the boobies are Blue-foot (c. 97%). Marine Iguanas can climb, go out to feed at low tide and come on the high rocks at high tide. Most in edicosis. Tropidernus is fairly common on the lava, it's larger and darker than on Santa Cruz, and also mostly in edicosis. It's much smaller than the it's. Have not seen any geckos, but have seen some 4-6" Tropidermus. Several large flies and a large odonate (?Tantetrium) are common but no mosquitos. Spiders fairly numerous. Very little song except Yellow warbler and white notes from the rockers. Tattlers and Tunstone make as much noise. In the evening 2 Sooty Gulls came over the camp as we were eating but this went on. Am reading The great Prince Shan by E. Phillips Oppenheim (a bomb - Jun. 30) to pass the time away. I Get very tired whenever I get up for more than 5 a hour or so. Clear and sunny in the A.M., then clouded up with feebly strong wind in the P.M. Yesterday at noon, Dr. Amador had a large Nikon camera that no one could figure out how to use. Today Dr. Miller located a Cormorant nest with a 1/2 grown young, got very wet went to bed young only again. 29 Jan. wake-up about 6 A.M overcast and windy, looks like it may stay that way today. Not much to do; feel a little better but still weak today. Still soft, somewhat upset in the gut. Ate better than before. Tried to tramp about a little but got tired quickly. Saw a Sooty gull feeding on the rocks at low tide. Taking some sort of invertibrate apparently. At least 2 Grosbeigas singing and several Black Fuliginose appeared in camp.
