(187) Nov 1472 David down with fever. Charlie, Flora, and I landed and experienced clear weather. We are concentrating on small birds. I took a new kind of honey sucker with a yellow eye-ring and a white-eared kingfisher which appears new, showing dark prussian blue back. A new ground dove with a white throat and breast; the larger species of ground dove has a white head here, which is a new variation. David ventured ashore in the late afternoon and got a very pretty new kingfisher - yellow-bill and feet and rich brown back. There are two honey suckers - the larger with the yellow ring and a smaller gray-headed short-tailed fellow. Then there is the widget, rather highly colored; the grass wren, or whatever it is; and what I believe to be a white-eye. Flycatchers are not so common; the gray-headed seem hardest to get.

The fantail tweets insignificantly and is quite common. I have not noted any song issuing from the little bird I call the "white-eye"; it only possesses the "eye-marks" of the species.
