JOURNAL
At any rate be put the (wrist) into a
splint. A wonderful development. I spent
the afternoon watching nests 331 & 308
& again after the show I watched the
same nest from 9:40 to 11:10. The
day was warm, calm & sunny.
A Weddell seal was seen on the
beach near camp this morning.

Make a complete round during the day.
In morning after taking care of Modoc &
Stretchen I weighed the chicks on this side
& after lunch weighed those in the shaney
& made a complete round. Wrote notes
in evening. Also finally straightened out
food notes of G & M. These were confused
by the fact that Don fed the bird for
several days. I have now taken that one
for the extent of keeping records - weighing
everything & leaving just cutting & skin.
My hand has taken a turn for the
worse. At the advice of Doc Hallett & Bailey
I exercised the fingers during the day.
The result has been that the hand swelled
& began throbbing badly all evening &
night.
