P. DeBenedictis 1964 1 Feb Punta Espinosa, Fernandina Island, Galapagos lagoon, saw many mouse scales scattered on the open lava. No obvious runways or other sign. Few guils around. Drs. Miller, Bartholomew, Carpenter Miller and Mike Caston went W along the coast and came back about noon with 5 lovely red and orange hand Iguanas. Dr. Miller shot 2 doves, several finches, a Kodydy, 4 Puffins and a laughing Gull. Skinned the gull & a Puffinus. The former (laurus) had almost black feet, blackish bill except for red coming in at the base of the lower mandible. The laughing Puffinus had a greyish-blue bill, and the feet were flesh colored on the inside and bluish on the outside. The wingling is mostly gray, not white so that the flash is is mechanical reflection, and the back is very black. One contained a pink shrimp like the Oceanites yester day; the one I skinned contained a soft gelatinaceous mass [? squid or octopus). Dr. Miller shot them in a feeding assemblage on his way from the Iguana spot to the camp. Spent almost all afternoon skinning. Had the local lobster which is a little more bitter than the one I ate in Academy Bay. Tide very high in the afternoon and washing away the beach. The odel "cockoo" turned out to be Green Heron. Peterson caught what must have been a freshly fledged Penguin and brought it into camp last night, released it in a lagoon and it disappeared during the night. Dave Pearson found 2 Amblylypnus dus eggs in a burrow today; they were c. 3 x 1 1/2", and weighed 745 gm. Shell white and leathery-smooth, almost rubbery. Saw Green cactus growing with 2 feet of Attle mangroves.
