PHOTOGRAPHIC REPORT (DAILY Notes.) BIRDS AT SEA - NOVEMBER 1964 2 Nov. 64 Photographic Motion (16mm) equipment was set up after leaving Pearl Harbor in hopes of securing photos of Saugers. A short period of time was used in getting equipment situated on the rails-deck and lenses affixed in their most convenient positions on camera. After settled and in a ready-to- shoot position we were told to clear the deck for salt-water wash down. We cleared! The wash down occured -not on the rails-deck but amid-ships some two hours later. The equipment was again set up on the [illegible] level which limited shooting to ca. a 40° Arc. Return to the rails-deck was not made and a few very short sequences of wildtail shearwaters were procured. No Saegers were photographed as they did not fly into my limited 40° area. A total of ca. '60 was shot for the day.
