Gill, Douglas 1964 finally found the Apapane, or Red Hawaiian Honeycreeper which are a rare and fascinating group of birds on Hawaii. While the others ran on ahead, I decided to sit and learn the birds we had just seen. So I spent half an hour learning the x calls and identification of Apapane, Leiothrix, White-eye, Elepaio, and Ricebird. The others returned having seen nothing. We returned to the car and drove back to Pearl Harbor to dry and find strawberry finches, Mandrins, Stilts, and anything else. The others saw a Manakin fly by but I didn't see it. We returned having not seen any of the above. I was exhausted, as was Pete and the others. We had a quick supper of sandwich remains. Then Pete, Paul and I joined Larry Huber to band shearwaters and petrels on an offshore island. We paddled a rubber raft out 1/2 mile to an lsland. We then spent 3 to four hours catching shearwaters, which were sitting on the coral. They bite viciously and scratch awfully. Besides we were being out up something awfully on the sharp coral. Pete and Larry both had done this before and knew the technique, whereas Paul and I were really cut up. After we had banded 100 shearwater, we searched for Bulwer's Petrels which were down in impossibly small holes in the coral, The shearwater give a ghostly moan, whereas the petrels, give a rhythmic cooing. Finally, we quit at 11:30 rowed back and drove home. I was so tired and acking. I could barely stand up. Am I out of shape. May 31--I barely made it to bed this morning. I was so sore. My back and neck ached and my wrists were scratched something awful and my legs were bruised, cut, and tender. I slept like a log until around 9 when I was awakened by the phone. I went back to sleep and was again awakened when Pete came in. I got up and felt woozy, weak and acked considerably.
