Lehner, P. 1964 13 July 27 Awoke to make breakfast - then back for a couple of Z's; did paperwork till noon; after lunch began collecting ticks again; we collected 1000, but still needed 400 more; Dave checked Noddy nesting plots and Wedgetail burrows; after dinner we collected another 600 ticks to more than fill the quota of 2000; we banded Sooties from before dark until about 11:30 - great sport - barf down the left pant leg, feces down the right; collected one young Sooty Tern in the process; I managed to get about 100 banded - slowly getting these production methods down; laundry and then the sack July 28 Today Dick leaves and I move into the other cubicle; up at eight o'clock; worked on more paperwork and prepared for trip to Johnston; ate early and left for Johnston at 11:15 A.M.; saw Dick off and began checking Tropicbird nests - found about 25 nests, banded eight adults; banded two Fairy Terns (must get my camera over to Johnston and get some pictures); found another Red T.
