Sent message to SI giving estimate of unbended Wedgetailed 
Shearwaters (estimate 900+ , 200 shipped, 100 collected). Pump 
House arid quarters were straightened up. Total of twenty Ruddy 
Turnstones were present early this meaning. Banded one hundred 
“LOCAL" Common Hoddies during the afternoon. We were just able to 
finish out the string. I noticed that the young Gray-backed Tern 
on the small islet was almost flying . After dark Ken and I bailed 
three hundred adult Sooty Terns. Tiese are very hard to catch 
and it took us over two hours to do them. The Wedgetailed Shearwater 
population (unbonded) probably should have been estimated at five 
hundred to one thousand.
