Huber LN 1965 Journal Arrived 1330 midday time. Contacted 000 then got a room at the BOA. This is Saturday and can't get security clearance to go to eastern till the office opens on Monday. Two sooty lordings nights shot. Thousands of Honiwa weddies and fairy terms in the casuarina trees. Honiwa weddies have completed nesting cycle & many immatures are flying around. Fairy terms are about midway in nesting cycle with mostly medium chicks. Saw the feathers and skeleton to Bonin island petrel. Woolpools are at extreme beginning of cycle with digging and few fresh eggs. They aren't too common but can be found in just about any thickly vegetated area away from houses. Planning to kite tomorrow. Have to go to SAR, seat to get boarding pass. This is quite a fantastic island. The birds mingle in with the people. Perfect compatibility. The fairy terms here are still friendly with people, in the southern islands the islands with sloff fairy terms and specks the fairy terms won't come near anybody. There's birds everywhere here on lawns and in window sills. Cats aren't allowed here and only small dogs. There was quite a grand storm the other day. It blew all the fairy chicks out of the trees. Because of the lack of predation by dogs and cats I thought I'd pull a cool one and band the chicks. I found out later that probably most of those chicks are dead now. Rats! Literally, rats, they run right
