Hoeman, Vincent D. 1964 Next we drive to Volcanoes National Park and arrange to go to Keaoi Island tomorrow getting cabin key from rgr. S. Albright. Nothing known of other partidger or mourning doves. Back in Hilo we shop, then drive up Saddle Road to look for thrushes at the Kapukas between miles 17 and 18. See none but we do see, in the rain, apapanes, iiwi, amakihi and some introduced birds. (notes finished two days later). Larry tries to collect more doves with car down in low country, then we explore ____ Lava Cave at 4.1 miles from origin of highway 20 in Hilo, developed by the Lions Club and explored 4700 feet, we go back about 2500 feet together in dripping wet among ohia roots, then I go another 1000 feet alone. Dark by the time I come out so we go to the beach beyond our brackish duck lake to sleep. April 25--The pond this morning has our male shoveller and a coot. We soon head up to Volcanoes N. P. and up the Mauna Loa strip road to 6500 where there's a shelter and the trail sign says 18.5 miles to to their crater shelter. Call up amakihis there. See a green pheasant on way down. Next we go around Kilauea Crater to the Halemouman Overlook where we see at least 5 w. t. tropicbirds flying on the far side. A barren, windy place. We drive on to Kipuka Nene where a pack of cub scouts inquisetively watch us prepare for our trip. With packs we take the 7.2 mile trail down to Halapa shelter seeing about 500 goats enroute all of which ran when they saw us. Mostly pure black, a few with irregular white on belly or feet, fewer with brown, about four pure brown and two pure gray. One very fine billy had widely divergent horns. The kids baa and bleat. Halapa is in a coconut
