DeBenedictis 1964 3 Feb Punta Espinosa, Fernandina Island, Galapagos. along the shore N of camp. Just out of camp Distlucce caught a small Dromiceus which I kept. It was crawling slowly and was at the edge of a crevice on the open lava e. 15 feet from the mangroves. Lots of Tropidurus here. Found a Geospiza feeding in a dry pothole on soft, yellowish soil, but missed it with the pistol. Then went out and shot another in a group of marine iguanas; it was feeding on the ground near the iguanas & crawled on them but didn't peck on them. Went back to the pot hole and shot the finch I missed before; then I got a wocker near some low mangroves, and a black neck Geospiza which was also feeding in and near a large group of Amblycerculus. It occa. probed into th, avilla and grain, but didn't seem to find any thing. All the finches I got are the same kind, probably difficilis accord-ing to Biller. Took a ♀ Yellow Warbler in transition plumage and came in to skin my birds. Spent most of the midday doing this. The yellow warbler had enlarged testis. Feet pinkish yellowish pads. Stomach full of small, unrecognizable insect remains, prob. the small flies that come to the camp at night. All the finches contained small sand grit (1" mudica. set) grains), and a yellowish, spiny seed # about 1/2 mm. long. No sign of ticks. The two drab birds were both missing the inner primaries, and showed a little body molt. The wocker had blue-grey legs & feet with yellowish foot pads. Stomach contained some washed insects parts, including one of the large colorful grasshoppers. Didn't nest well. The snake's eggs were dark
