Thompson and I walked to the east side of the island to take pictures of Red-Footed Boobies and Great Frigate Birds nesting in a clump of Messerschmidia. We found 3 Red-tailed Tropicsbirds resting under the rock ledge that borders a portion of the lagoon. 5 to 6 PM. We netted and banded Sooty Terns. Feb. 17 Wed. 7 AM. We left Enderbury, Twentyn the firstraft. A very large wave (at least 8' high) hit us just after we shoved off. Fortunately we hit it (or vice versa) just before it started breaking. It threw the gear in the bow up in the air and we were thrown off balance but the raft was not upset and nobody fell out. Canton Island, Phoenix Islands, Pacific Noon. We went ashore in a whale- boat and stayed until 6:30 P.M., driving 1/2 way around the island and netting birds.
