Lehner, P. 1964 74 Oct. 22- continued Roger, Ken and George went off to try and collect the turnstone while Binion, Larry, Chris and myself went to the Sooty Tern colony; we had a lot of trouble catching ten birds but finally managed at the expense of several smashed eggs and numerous frightened, downy chicks; this Sooty Tern colony contains about 50,000 adults, the largest number we have seen yet; returning up the beach we ran into Roger, George and Ken who had collected the Sandpiper that had eluded George and I yesterday - still none of us could identify it; while catching Sooties I noticed 3 Crested Terns in the heart of the Sooty flock - perhaps they are nating in the same area; we left Taka at 5:20 with a plant and reptile collection and ten blood samples; arriving on the ship we found that the natives were still trading with the crew; they once again stayed to watch both movies which 3 of them could not understand but still enjoyed; worked on notes in late P.M. then sacked out about midnight.
