P. DeBenedictis 1964 12 Sun on board "Colden Bear" off central Baja Calif. When it moves. most of the gulls just circle over it and occasionally one will land near by. Far more instructive to watch the birds following the boat - getting poses telling, Cassel & Herring gulls adult from below - Cassel has black mark on bill & a deft primary pattern: [illegible] and just a red spot on the bill. People beginning to get bored from lack of action and walks about the deck are becoming more and more frequent. Poor Dr. Orr hasn't yet seen a mammal, Dr. Hendrickson began to point out flying fish, but only about a dozen seen. It is a deep blue & white species with short, blunt fins & a pointed, elongate lower tail fin. Dr. Bartholomew later told me there are always other few birds around. Robert Pyle and I have been trying to make a regular check of the birds, one at 7-8 o, last 12-1, and 1 at 4:30 -5:30. Symposium session [illegible] gives anyone a chance to sleep. Lots of people collecting birds - Pthis H / Mr. Amador, and Bownan from the stern, Dr. Bartholomew, Hendrickson, and Orr from the port. During off hours Dr. Carpenter and Charles Billot spend most of their time trying to discourage us from going.
