too. And many goats. About 1205 hours* I finally reach the shelter 
at road end on Ha line Pali and the tank of of rainwater is certainly 
welcome. I walk over a mile up the road and wait for Larry.

Many apapane f iivi, amakihi, and I watch a scolding battle between 
white/eye* and leothrix, the latter have terrifically varied voices.

goose trapping. 
As evening comes we drive out Chain of Craters Road checking each 
erater for bird activity and I climb 5*^00 Puu Huluhulu to check its 
crater. Pig-damage of vegetation is extensive there and we later 
see pig on road. Listening at craters in dark produces nothing. Larry 
uses heat' escaping from a Furaarole to heat a can of chill. 
Slightly rainy, I call Ear. Ely from store and we patrol the roads 
trying to catch Golden Plover. Come pretty close to getting one or two. 
Back out to Kipuka Men® to sleep, Larry in car, I in shelter.
