seema red fort nest on the ground on the northern islands. Also had an egg in it. July 25 Restin Is. Saw a huge orange streamered BT Curves sitting on top of a 301 telephone pole. [illegible] down casually, hazy along tonight, Concentrating on my radio while all of a sudden whole harling operation came to an abrupt halt. The band would it go on the leg. I look down to see why. and guess what. The foot had two feet on one leg. This made the leg twice as wide. How about that 3 footed sootie.. I guess guess if a person handles thousands of sooties he is bound to remember unusual things. Well I just did 4,000 Sooty tern nest trips. Sitting around with clicks is a snap compared to shutts. I could have done 400 more if I hadn't had some trouble with dry band and tag co. putting band on the tubes too tight. Collected a weird color blue red tailed tropic bird nesting [illegible]. Where the black barring is supposed to be it is light greyish brown. But instead of being blackbird to flesh and distant white tail instead of being dark is light grey and legs instead of being bluish flesh is white.. I haven't found any ternored tropic birds or albatros on easter, only on sand.
