June 10 cont - Tuler on Stadel wandered over and we told dirty jokes for a while, then got back about 3am. I returned 4 Blue-footed Boobies. Stadel saw a Blue-gray noddy at the rocks. June 11 - In the morning I took off to shoot up 2 rolls of film. Got some good birds up the Layson trench and 1 The Laysan Duck. - also one of a BFB sitting on an old albatross egg. At noon we went back to the tiny for food and neck time. Upon return to Layson, I took off with Bob DeLong on a trip should also mention that around the circumference of the island - he surveying the skunkas or much seals, me trawling Christmas birds and counting shorebirds present island while selecting fishballs. I banded 27 on The N Shore Side taking egg floatations at the same time. Got one return 544-45624 (new band 544-52973). In the evening we all roset out to return footies. I could hardly crawl after walking around the island twice already (ca 15 miles). I was going to just the remaining 544 bands on Wedgies, but I heard Christmas Do. calling directly behind camp.- so I checked and found them to be quite numerous in The Scavella - in an hour I banded the remaining 27 needed to complete the string.
