Molly Islands. July 25, 1932 Arrived at the islands about 7:00 PM Thirty adult pelicans were at the islands. The young were in the sea pools. As nearly as we could count, there were 102 young pelicans. The black primaries were beginning to show. About half the young took to the water. No cormorants were seen. I did not see the terns, altho they may have been present. One young pelican had hatched within the last 3-4 days. 2 eggs we found but think then deserted.
