"Harkman, C.D. 1965 Journal 27 February 3 Baker Island After launching the boat at 6pm we split into two parties and ran a quick island survey. There isn't very much on the island at present. After dark most of us packed out and tried to car audio and paring while only the ambitious went out to tackle the small blue- forced body club that is here getting 60 new birds and 52 returns. February 4 Baker Island Max got up early and made a shorebird count. Ralph began capturing and stuffing mice. I did some landing records + took some notes on marine aspects of the island and the rest partied around. Around 10 am Merrill walked around the island and mapped the climbs in the beach and made a general survey. Woodward and Hule ate an early lunch and left to find Common Nobby Terns on the far sides of the island. The surf is still very high and steady along the west shore of the island. There was also no south east shore. It might be worth noting that the Whitehite a rader has been in operation since the 3rd day out of Pearl Harbor. This makes it necessary to place the navigation lights about 1 mile apart. The ship's crew has been taking care of this much to our great relief. We spent most of the day wondering around looking but there just isn't much to see on this island at the present time.
