81. 18 Dec. Rain and high winds all day precluded a flight and much activity. A check at the overrun produced nothing new, 1 Bufflehead is still here, as well as 2 Short-eared Owls. Frigate point surf in getting big, and the wind and sand are strong. One Common Noddy chick is there, and Jim Priest has been photo- graphing it every other day. This is a month later than the last chick on Kure. 19 Dec. I find that again there is no flight to Kure. Winds strong, much rain, very cold for here. There is little to be done in this weather.
