Ludwig, J. P. 1964 Beginning January 1, 1964--Left Washington, D. C. - arrived Honolulu. January 2 - Preparation in Honolulu for Starbrite cruise. January 3 - 19 -- At sea on Starbrit: All field notes entered into daily log on bird observations. A total of 572 birds seen and twenty-two collected. January 20-25--Operating in and about Honolulu arranging the February Starbrite, Line Islands ATF trip, inventoried the materials in storage at Pearl City, and planned field trip to Maui. January 26--Maui: Flew here to Senator Ausai and was welcomed in home. In p.m. went to Iao needle - thought I saw two two White-tailed Tropicbirds near needle (at 3000 feet elevation). 730 Kihei Ponds - Many Black-crowned night Herons, Black-necked Stilts, 720; two Sanderlings. Kanaha Bird Sanctuary (one mile from airport) Shoveller ducks >100, Black-crowned night Heron >20, Coot >20, Black-necked Stilt >100. Shovellers here are resident ♂, ♀, and in all plumages. Yellow-orange feet etc. Birds seem to have unusually large bodies. Herons common and appear to be healthy. Stilts are numerous and at least some are in molt as their heads and necks seem "ratty" and missing feathers. Coots show little bright colors that are common in breeding. A number of immature herons in mixed plumages were noted. I saw no adults with the long breeding plumes over the head. This race seems to be grayer and perhaps shorter-winged than the race in Michigan.
