Made up some birds and pressed some plants. Found several nests of the Arctic Tern on the rocks in the east end of the island. Some were apparently fresh but in most cases young a few dera old occupied the nest or were found hiding near it. The nests were merely a few blades of grass arranged in a circle in a small hollow. Saw a number of Redpov and took one also a Rusty Blackbird. Sam, a Parasitic Jaeger in the normal flwage
