Ludwig, James P. 1964 2 March 25--Up after a damn poor bout with the food poisoning. Didn't sleep much at all. Sweated all night and was wringing wet at a.m. But went around Hana way via Kehii. Pond was very low. We stopped and checked a number of nests: 1. Mockingbird--three eggs. platform of Keawe sticks lined to grasses. (R.cardinalis) Sea level--eggs very spotted to red-brown on aquamarine. Second nest with three eggs, red-brown spots on white, nest plain cup to no base like mainland cardinal nest. 1200 feet elevation. 2. Large pendulous domed nest--six eggs, all white, very small--seven nests in 150 feet diameter. Thought Ricebird was flushed from it. 3. Suspended five cup nests (2) with three eggs each time. White with Brown spotting. 1500 feet Zosterops All nests were located in the Keawe trees beyond Kehéi on the connecting leg of RT 31 around the island. The journey around the rest of the island was quite uneventful except for seeing large flocks of Rice birds on the dry side. Only two White-tailed Tropicbirds seen on wet side in valleys (one over the ocean on dry side). At Alak Island (Hamoa Beach) we noted evidence of Shearwater occupations and could see thirty-seven burrows. One bird was seen at the entrance to a burrow. March 26--Went around Maui Head today. No Concentration of Shearwaters or petrels along this coast but at the west cliff of the Honokohau Valley 10 to 20 pr. W. T. tropicbird nesting (While the findings of the last two days indicate that the breeding population here is very low), I believe that a systematic study of the four thousand to six thousand
