August 8 , 1963 
Banded ten hundred adult Goaty Terns today. Also color marked 
these . Also landed and color marked two Red-tailed Tropicbirds (adults) 
possibly a pair. Received package of bird, decoys and letter from 
Maryanna. Letter gave no information as to Ken and Pat's stay. 
Read like there should have been another letter which we haven't 
received. Letter also included two hundred nudber two gands. Bird 
decoys were far attracting Share birds into a mist net . 
Sent message to Havseafr ont ier concerning dry ice shipment 
arrangements since no information was sent to me by Bushman or

August 9, 1963 
Banded seven adult Sooty Terns today. Recovered another band 
from an adult Sooty Tern (No. . This band was also 
wrapped tightly around the bird’s leg and had to be pryed open 
before the number could be fully read. Band loosened and properly 
closed. Processed blood samples during the afternoon. All appear 
to be fine. Serum samples placed in freezer unit of small refrigerator 
in Chiefs Quarters. Received message that Shad group would handle 
dry ice shipment and repacking for shipment to D. C. This was an 
information to me but was directed to John Bushman to see if he had 
made prior arrangements. 
Caught 12+ mice at east protion alive. Held overnight. 
Will attempt blood samples tomorrow.
