De Benedictis 1967 Georgius Feb 19 Punta Suarez, Isla Espanola, Galapagos a young bird begged in hunched posture with a high sharp "pe'ek pe'ek" call, a whistle. Plummage like the bird I collected. It got no food. Birds fly off the cliff for some time and soar without much wing beating ging out 100-150 feet up 10-50 ft., the wing are held The feet often dangle. The bird soars out in a single circle, a repeated (up to 8-10) circles or a figure 8 pattern and usually returns to a roost near where it started. There seems to be a # of unattached birds about which move short distances along the cliff and are (I suspect) the main birds being chased away (by resident birds) After a 1st bird started, 8 were by gulls all gave the "suttle-whistle" call (~) with neck out, thin, velopus. The corpses are not moved from rest position. Feather erection seems to be minor, the back looks a little higher than in rest posture
