P. DeBenedetti 1967 (133) Feb/16 Puntos Suarez, Isla Espanola (Hood), Galapagos. big blow hole... lots of doves flying to the Pt. in the evening and 2 Night Herons came into the beach in front of our camp after sunset, which was a beautiful orange and pink glow, its effect heightened by the crescent moon, Jupiter and Venus. Swallow-tailed Gulls going N at dusk flew over without cooling. In spite of the very bad start for the day, it was very pleasant in the afternoon. Hole skimming by now! Feb. 17. Woke up late this A.M. Doves flying over as usual. After breakfast Miguel Costas took Roford, Ortiz and myself to the white sand beach at the N.E side of the island. There were few fracs, boobies and frigate birds only, along this stretch but I noted a dozen or so moths flying into the island from the N. The sandy beach was almost as fine as the beach at Tortuga Bay. There were sea turtle tracks everywhere, and we saw half a dozen E more or less recent nests (saw a Green Turtle when we went to Cevallos on the 15th). No shorebirds on this beach. We walked along the beach for some time, then cut inland to a small patch inland from the beach. The brush near the beach was very dense, much like that near Puntos Suarez and composed of the same stickery splint species. About 50 ft
