Husted, Dayle N. 1964 10 birds came in spurts and spells. Two Frigatebirds were seen at a great distance, but gradually came closer. The weather and seas were calm. About sunset we ran into a small squall. July 4--Many Wedgetails were seen today. Four of them were feeding within 30 feet of the ship. I am quite certain that I saw a piece of a squid in one of the Wedgetails mouths. Another Wedgetail was seen flying low over the water and dipping his bill into the water. Several large flocks were seen this afternoon. One of them came quite close to the shipand Warren shot a Frigatebird, a Sooty Tern, and a light Wedge- tail. Squid was taken from the mouth of the Sooty Tern (another reason I think that was squid in the Wedge-tails mouth). The birds were checked for ectoparasites. The ones that were found were placed in alcohol. The going was fairly rough today, and the seas were fairly high. The weather was clear with about an 18 mph wind. There was a squall or two this morning. July 5--Dr. Ely met us at the dock about 0630 this morning, and then took us to the hotel. This afternoon King, Stadel, and I went to the Booby colony at the marine air base. We arrived there about 1720 and then started to band young. Estimation of young present was about 400+, this was about 90% present (of the population when we started banding). We banded 158 birds with bands numbers 597-12629, 678, 729, 767, 772 going to adults. Several adults were run to disgorge fish, even though we didn't bother them. I saw one puke four fish up on the ground. Some subadults were also seen. We finished banding when it was almost dark, and we were back at the hotel about 2100.
