R.S.Grossin 1965 Journal 15 July (cont) Zacanski rain was falling steadily with ferrin gusts at mile per. Throughout the afternoon and night very strong driving winds and rain soaked every object in the tent and at times threatened to lift it from its stakes. Work was impossible during this period. Cleared up early in the am on 16. 16 July weather now cleared up pretty good. Banded most of the day. Says & concentrated on Solly tern. Chick + a few young albatrosses. The footy chicks were practically all of a size from fully feathered to flying stage and many already flying. Sending very difficult in the baytonie so we teamed up and by puring the band set for a sack we could sew them around and pick up 20 or so, band them etc. Started the blood work at dark and continued this until after 4 am when we started breaking camp.

Naturally there is no danger of killing the bird in this manner. Attempts to bleed other large birds in this manner, such as frigate, boobies etc. did not succeed because the skin on these birds is very dark a black and the vein does not show up as in the albatrosses. Ca. 112 blood samples collected but about 8 in the centrifuge machine. The centrifuge tubes we are using are very bad and crack at the small bottom with the greatest ease. Finished up the blood spinning on ship at 1000 a.m. left off the island about 500 am. After blood works completed until about 5 p.m. now getting ready to hit layon. Should arrive about 8:00 p.m. Landing shortly, before 8:00 p.m. Del & Brian went on with the ship first to test the antenna and set up a light duo to guide the ship when it returned with myself, Torkoff and the gear.
