R.D. Gossin 1965 Journal (1) Waihiki, Honolulu, Oahu, Hawaiian Is. 1 July arrived 29 June at 11:50 p.m. Yesterday (so) visited The Shannator, and did a bit of shrimping on specimens from the deep seas. New Lake pretty capable. Mustel is highly independent, but apparently well versed on operations for at sea. Have seen very few birds here so far. Indian Myna - very abundant, very starling-like in actions and gait- are all around good sturmid. Three Gavilans are abundant, but not as noisy nor pugnacious as on the mainland. One ad. Brazilian Cardinal - a most striking species. Spotted doves are fairly common, very reminiscent of our Mourning dove. Barred doves are everywhere abundant. This species must be conspecific with Scaurafella or vivensera, although I am unable to see the connection in terms of geography, separated as their habitats are. Mexico - China. Several of the calls of Argulus exactly equal some of Scaurafella. A few Japanese White- eyes were seen. Manana Island, 1 mi offshore Honolulu, Oahu left Honolulu about mid afternoon accompanying Mr. Dly, Brian Harrington, Dale Nusted and Jeff Selfe on landing run. Sooty terns adults were very R.D. Gossin 1965 Journal (2) July 1 difficult to catch in daylight as we banded Sooty Terns and Wedge Tailed Shearwaters. Estimated over 200,000 sooties, ca. 30,000 Noddies and possibly that many wedge-tails. Several dark phase wedge-tails were dug from their burrows. Several sets of 2 eggs for wedge-tails. Most eggs appeared fresh and many birds seemed to be just mature. A very few Sooty terns with eggs and chicks ranging through all ages. The Noddies practically all had eggs, a few very young chicks. Most noddies slightly separated from the sooties and appeared most abundantly on the higher ridges and along the gullies. At night the pair of wedge-tails stayed together, the & ? incubating, other member settling close proximity. Several sets of 2 eggs and one of 3 in Noddies. Banded 1,000 birds of mixed species and ages. Very cool with several showers throughout the night. We left the island about 6:35 a.m. I was charged and microscopically attacked by a Wedge-tail that day's had just landed, cocoanut palms (excellent) on island.
