Transcription
The bird was collected from the skiff as it investigated the ship on 28 July. It was a thin specimen. Nighthawk sp. # Obs. = 1 0 + 0 0 0 0 A nonadult bird fluttered about and occasionally landed on the ship while maneuvering at Point Dogwood. I am not able to identify the bird to species. The lesser would be the most probable as it ranged onto the Pt. Conception area, 42 miles from "Dogwood." Passeriform sp. # Obs. = 1 0 + 0 0 0 0 A small landbird flitted briefly about the ship at Pt. Dogwood, 23 July. It was about the size of a House Finch/Sparrow, and probably was one or the other. Marine Mammals. EAC 17 10-30 July Non-Grid Areas Date Time Lat. Long.
