P. DeBenedictis 1964 Feb 8 Tolwaga Bay to Academy Bay, Santa Cruz Is, Galapagos. Lagoon (100 x 250 yards), 2-12" deep, we found the Teal we flushed before + 6 other for a total of 19. When we climbed to the edge 6 Flamingos flew out over us, once a seventh flew up and landed in the lagoon.

Several Frigate birds were playing overhead. We cut out the coast seeing a few more Tattlers and a flock of 18? Ruddy Turnstones.

At the barranco there were about 8 Sooty Gulls, 4 sitting on the rocks giving "Kreow" notes continuously, and 3? birds flying to them, away, and back so on. When I couldn't see them Geared Long Calls. Several birds, one giving an
