Lehner, P.
1965
JAN. 21
rain and strong northerly winds all night;
Binion received a phone call about 0900 saying
that he could fly out on an early flight if
he could get there by 1000; the Coast Guard VP
wouldn't start so we took the noon M boat over;
his plane finally left at 1645; I called Dr. Ely
to tell him of the delay so that there would
be dry ice waiting for the birds; the C. Noddy egg
on the islet was destroyed; Grey-backed Tern eggs
are receiving a great amount of destruction; we
received the cannons and net today.
Birds shipped with Binion:
41 Sooty Terns
5 Common Noddies
7 Wedge-tailed Shearwaters
3. Great Frigatebirds
1 Red-tailed Tropicbird
4 Golden Plovers
1 Rectoral Sandpiper
3 Grey-backed Terns
