Lehner, P. 1964 49 Aug. 30 Cam checked once this morning; I arose (almost from the dead) feeling in good shape and ran through a little bookwork and data organizing; I ran the plots in the P.M.; at 11 P.M. we went to "the other end" to try to let blood from Noddies; we only managed to catch about 15; they either got up and fly off way ahead of the light beam or they weren't there at all; most that I could see I was able to walk right over and pick up - many were on ~ Eggs or had chicks; they were also able to fly-climb out of the double height wire corral - bending the top in helped some; they give 5cc. of blood with difficulty and are extremely weak afterwards - Sooties are much more capable blood donors; we tried taking 6cc/bird and calling it a sample - we'll see how much serum it provides; however, this just about killed the bird - we then took 4.5 cc from each of two birds - worked much better; also bled one male frigate; the young Frigates appear to go through a stage when the head and neck (formerly white) becomes reddish-brown.
