Lehner P. 1964 67 Sept. 23 got up due to noise arising from a Coast Guard day off; checked mice, had brunch and then made run to Johnston for boxes; went skin-diving with Brownie, O.ch., Lt. Thurman and Briggs on the raft to the range light; found one large cowrie - left at 1:00, returned at 4:00; we weighed and measured Noddy chicks after late chow; saw what appeared to be a Wandering Tattler on the causeway, but had yellow legs - further check showed this to be a correct field character; at 7:15 P.M. Cam and I saw an unknown shorebird east of the transmitter bldg. - small, dark back and breast, distinct demarkation to light abdomen, mottled back and wing pattern in flight, light under tail coverts; - we'll try to locate it and collect it tomorrow; darkness caught us tonight.
