1 Feb. Punta Espinosa, Fernandina Island, Galapagos ging into the same 'bitten stance' when scared. Tail flickering conspicuous. Watched woodpeckers forage for some time. They feed on branches 1 to 4" in diameter. It ran 6" to 1ft, depending largely on the density of the vegetation. Tail flickered a. 15 to 30-25°, frequently (every 2 sec. or so) and laterally spread slightly when raised, from [illegible] to [illegible] but sometimes rounded so that its whole was very conspicuous. [illegible]. Diving flush except (balance?) when the bird dropped and this hardly noticeable. The bird peers intently up (and down less often), from each patch but did not feed at each. Take prey from surface most of time, either top or bottom of branches from tip of broken twig. Once spent some time breaking very thin mangrove bark. From the white tail tips are very conspicuous on the flash. Behavior reminds me of Brownson's Thrush but were active, like a stirred up Stellar Jay. Heard a few odd songs in the mangroves. Came back along the lagoon, and bay. Saw 3 7foot white tip sharks, spent half an hour dropping boulders on them. 3 Brown Pelican Nests in the low mangroves, 1 c 10', 1 c 7', 1 c. 12' from the ground. All had downy young with flight feathers which screamed lustily. [illegible] adult remained at 2 nests and 1 nest was left alone. The nests were quite sunny. A pair of Great-blue Herons and a couple of Penguins on the rocks. Saw 5 Covenants breaking. At least 5 Semi-pal. Flowers, 2 Whimbrels, 25 Rudy Turnstones, 15 Wandering Tattlers along here on sandy shallow. Didn't see any gulls. The Marine Iguanas even about a mile from the camp are fairly shy and dive for cover when one approaches. Out by the far
