P. DeBenedictis 1964 30 Jan Pt. Espinoza, Fernandina Island, Galapagos. All the returning party was beat. Miller got a penguin (pickup) and several passerines, Singer lots of bugs. Carpenter & Kiehl each got a Phylodactyle. Spent the evening in a discussion of the pros and cons of Tazuo and the role of scientists in politics (rib). Lots of bugs, including a plain brown tiger beetle, came to the camp. Feel very good and have a good appetite. 31 Jan beautiful A.M. Frizel's scanning over the lagoon just W. of camp. Decided to finally get a few pictures and tramp around and see the rest of the point area. During breakfast the Franklin's Gull showed up for a little while started out to the convenant coast + got 3 pictures and a couple of the Iguana rock covered with lizards. Not much else around. No boobies today. Worked then to the N of camp along the shore. Saw 1 or 2 Zenipal flowers and several Tunn-tour and tattlers. An Oystercatcher was feeding in a rock crevice and I saw it take a large (6" W.) polychaet worm from the crevice. It would only allow a 30+ ft. approach and was silent. Not many seals here so worked back towards the camp, capturing a large P Tropidurus which I got 2 pictures. It was dark above and very orange below when captured, and 1st developed white-cream spots on all the dorsal scales, then lost those and developed a dark throat. It is about as bright as any D's deer. Bob pattern is as Carpenter described, normally ~~~ but somewhat ~~~ or so. # of bob sexes about 1 to 3, now 3. Feed actively on very small prey. F's are only about half + size. Bob ~ in same way.
