Ludwig, JP 1964. 32 of 102 wedgetails were banded. I did not attempt to work the boobies tonight - it may kill eggs to disturb them at an advanced stage in incubation. Also a tidal wave warning at 0900 brought my efforts to an abrupt close. Don't mind bending, but getting washed away is another thing. March 28 Slept overnight at Kilauea and noted Shearwater activity on ground until 0605; birds began leaving for sea at 0545, most were gone by 0610. Boobies began going to sea with first gray light but some were still leaving at 0730. Back in Honolulu and with the tremors still occuring in Alaska our off-shore island work comes to a halt. We set about preparing a report and banding summary from January 1 to March 31 which should be ready before April Starbrite.
