Lehmer, P. 1964 14 July 28 - continued returned to Sand at 4:30; after dinner we checked Noddy nesting, set a Sherman trap to catch Pond's mouse that has been chewing his pet flowers outside the Signal building, and after dark began banding; we got 500 Sooties banded by ~11:45 P.M.; Pond's mouse has still not been caught - shower and to bed. July 29 checked mouse traps in the A.M. ; only one dead - no unmarked catches; weighed and measured Noddy TERN chicks in the afternoon and evening; all but five could be found; banded those large enough or those with worn leg bands with red anodized USFWS bands; checked Wedgetails on Islet (no change); also checked Wedgetails on Sand Island (no change); checked Bilwer's Petrels along causeway in late evening; found about 11 including 3 chicks - 2 new adults were banded; set mouse traps.
