Hubert 1967 Journal No 15 at sea between Makin and Maje The storm petrel also had a squared tail. Also have been seeing a small black Shear-petrel species which I think may be the Black Petrol Procellaria parkinsoni liberally On Makin there is a [illegible] flats about a mile long and anywhere from 0-1500 feet wide (depending on tide) which would be ideal for a cannon net. It is not too hard to lead the birds to where one wants them. There is also around a 1000- [illegible] birds on the flats. I saw about 150 godwits, 30 curlews (not Bristle-thighed) 500 wandering tattler and the rest in mixed small shorebirds. If another trip comes here it would be foolish not to take a cannon net for this place. A stilts are also there, and maybe a phalarope. Wislocki and I went into the island all day yesterday and Roger stayed aboard and skimmed birds. That was all he needed to jump ahead of me on bird skins
