Nov. 18. Kuria Atoll
We then returned to the raft and moved up
to Oneaki Island to pick up Binion and Larry
On the beach were some 22 Crested Terns and
3 Black-naped Terns roosting together.
When Larry and Binion returned we learned that
they had seen a Whimbrel, about 6 Sharp-tailed
Sandpiper (of which they had collected four)
and a Frigatebird. They had collected another
Pacific ? Pigeon as well. No Cc
Back out to the ship and through the usual
bird preparation work. I then spent the rest of
the day until about 8:30 or 9:00 skinning birds.
