Oct. 16 - continued
62 Red-footed, 61 Brown and 57 Blue-faced
Boobies; we returned at 9:30; shortly
thereafter everyone but Chris and myself
waded across to Aromeni- to to band some
more; we have freshwater pools in front of camp
in eroded basins of coral rock - could this be the
source of freshwater for migrating shorebirds?
11:35 p.m. the other banding party returned -
their is a large club of about 100 Mashed Boobies
on the northeast end of Aromeni Island; the
sky is almost completely overcast, but no rain
is falling; 12:15 to the rack.
