Hachson, C.D. 1965 February 14 Endaburg Island 57 Journal Starvation or both. Our curiosity now fully aroused (for a change) we took the large bird out of the nest and replaced it with the small, weak one. The large chick immediately began protesting by clucking loudly and persistently but it made no attempt to move. When the parent returned to the nest it settled down on the small chick and completely ignored the large, more healthy one a outside of the nest. When the large chick saw the parent settle down on the nest it began dragging ad flapping itself forward [illegible] until, finally, it succeeded in getting back into the nest and under the parent. But we learned the small bird again returned to the nest. After dark we split into two groups this land Red-fostered Boolbies and Sooty Terns - one group gone up to the gum trees pile on the north end and the still out to the clumps of Cordia in the south central portion of the island. The moon is completely full tonight so hunting should be lots of fun and full of laughter. Happy Valentine's Day! Sacked out at midnight.
