Ken Wila and I left to band Sooty Terns this meaning, but the 
numbers were so low that it was decided to wait unti night. I processed 
a wedge-tail Shearwater and a Caaaon Noddy far ectoparasites . A 
plant press was constructed from plywood and cardboard from boxes 
available was used for fillers. A few plants were collected (determined 
by our having only five fillers). The press was placed outside of 
the generator exhaust which is quite hot. During the afternoon same 
photos were made . 
Yesterday afternoon" the first hatchling hedge-tail Shearwater 
was found. It was wandering around on the beach and was assay from 
its burrow. Pat sketched it before he left. Today it had died. 
I found several mare hatchlings in furrows today end made photos
