2. DeBenedictis 1964 Feb 15 Punta Suarez to Punta Cevallos, Espanola (Hood) Island, Galapagos. woke up c. & A.M and went to the tent to wrap the finches I skinned yesterday. I went out in the brush to empty my bladder and on the way back I picked up a very cool dove which couldn't fly. It was injured in the heart and it soon died according to Dr. Bartholomew, to whom I gave the bird (alive). After breakfast (very rapid) we boarded Miguel Cortes's fishing boat with bothers, his assistant, Carpentis, Koford, Bartholomew, Peterson, Orteg (and myself) having Arnaldo alone in camp (he banged up his leg and has been taking it easy). The trip to the east end of the island was uneventful, there being few birds (Boobies and Frigate birds) and the terrain much like the Pt. most of the way- a cobblestone beach, with sand (in places) above & thin dense brush. The top of the is funnel is a (clear) Palo Santo forest, fairly open. Towards the east end (N side) of this island there is a little low cliff with much guano, little birds (Creagrus & Sula nebouxii) and beyond this a long sand-rock beach like at the Pt. Two small Islands off Hood between it and Gardner, as well as Gardner and the east end of Hood have quite a # of Opuntias which grow in a PP form, very dense on top. The west most of the two small islands is in profile N /\ S and on the steep, reddish N cliff, 200' ft high ( island 1/4 X 3/16 miles in size, longer than wide) there were about 80
