Aug. 17 - early A.M. - it's raining like a cow
pissing on a flat rock - a good chance to
finish progress report; left mice until P.M.;
Cam checked mice and I worked on reports;
finished with the damn thing by mid-afternoon;
went to other end to fill mouse traps and
got drenched - rained all day except for
late P.M.; had cookout for O.D. - beer + dogs,
Bo showed underwater slides (slides he had
taken underwater; he didn't show them under-
water); checked Wedgetails late P.M.; during
mid-afternoon I saw a Brown Booby
feeding near Signal Bldg. - today's first
time I've seen them feeding this close to
sand; also first time it's rained this hard
this long; Cam found a Great Frigate with a
broken wing in early P.M., brought it to
pump house where we bled 20 cc. of blood
from it, to ext. parasites and then froze it.
