R.Clapp - 1964
Nov. 6. Kwadjalein Is., Kwadjalein Atoll.
Rained steadily all morning. I skinned birds in
the morning while the others sacked out or read.
Only got two finished but both should be good
skins. The Sharp-tailed Sandpiper was excessively
fat as was the one I did the other day.
At about noon I went into town to check for
a diving mask with Larry. On our return we
watched a Golden Plover wlaking around the
docks. When scratching its head, this individual
scratched over the wing.
