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.

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.
