Before lunch. In afternoon Brian & I
stopped + landed a few skuae. Wrote
notes + read in evening.
Nordl Cape Ballast, Antarctica.
Left camp about 9 A.M heading for
Pivio Becepie. I was traveling with
Don Douglaey, Brian Reid & Colin
Barby came with jio in order to get
so close to the rider petrel cliff-
called Tombo Ramparts. We dropped them
off 2 miles from the cliff + drove to
the moraine at S. end of the glacier,
between the 2 cliff areas. Here is
a small skuaery & I wanted to obtain
a few specimens. Spent 2 hours
more, closer to 3, trying to moose
some birds. They did not respond
But I finally got 2 which we
drapatelet with twibne in a plastic
bag to see which we slipped over
the bird head. Meanwhile Don
got 2 other by throwing rocks at
them + a) breaking a wing + b) sta
stunning one with a blow in the head.
We climbed partway up the cliff towards
its S. end, the same area we visited
last time. No success. We then returned
To the N. end + climbed to top of shelf
