DeBenedictis 1964 Feb 8 Tortuga Bay, Santa Cruz Island. Galapagos much grown to low mangroves (15-25' high and as wide). The bay runs about a quarter mile in from the west and is smooth and well protected. No birds but a few marine iguanas on it; frigate birds flying over and a few (4-6) Great Blue Herons along the edge. We walked out to the end of the S jetty, seeing several frigate birds, all magnificent, and 20+ Terns on, 10 Tattlers, 2 Black-Bellied Plovers, 1 Semipal. Plover, 6-8 Whimbrel; lots of Yellow Warblers and Troglodytes along the shore plus the same finches as before; a lot of Opuntia along here and several deer goats. Somewhat of a browse line on the mangroves. We thus circled back and went around the bay along the N side. The forest here was quite dense, with Opuntias and mesquite, here 6-8' tall, making the passage rather sticky. Spiderwebs all over the place, most with a black and yellow [illegible] shaped beast in the middle. Got so bad I knocked them down with a stick. There was a dry logson at the NNE end of the bay, and beyond this 3 small, muddy puddles, with 3 StiltS, 1 Whimbrels, a Black-bellied Plover, 2 Semipalmated Plover and 13 Blue-winged Teal, the latter of which flew off to the W end of the bay. The rest of the shore was dry, except along the water's edge: Saw 6+ Woodkingbirds here, the only we saw on this hike except at Academy Bay. When we got to the W end of the Bay, 2 Common Egrets (C. alba) flushed from a mangrove. 3 Great Blue herons plus 2 Brown Pelicans nests. I'm along sea
