Dec 17 Cape Hallett, Antarctica (Saturday)
I made a round of the stency in the
morning + spent the afternoon + part
of the evening working on the skua
cages writing notes.
Dec 18 Cape Hallett, Antarctica (Sunday)
Slept in late this morning + did not
get up until 10:30 A.M. The day was
overcast + breezy. Snow fell intermittently
in large puffy flakes. The wind from
the S. suggested an arriving storm
but the day wore on + it did not
materialize. I had intended to read
during the day but instead worked
on the skua cage + finally finished
it up. The 2 chicks (Modoc + Gretchin)
are eating up both a lot of time +
a lot of food. I made a trip over
#307+308 + weighed the chicks in
the late afternoon.

of Zanzibar"-not too bad. Anyway we
were all up quite late to see it.
Made a round of the stency in afternoon
weighing the penned chicks that were out +
