the flock there were ten Bulwer ! s Petrels. I wouldn T t have noticed them 
except -we were in and out of them. They flew very close to the water. 
My observation were cut short because I had to help weigh and measure 
fish. Seventy-seven skipjack were caught. 
August 13 --Today we tried for bait fish in the Keauhau Bay area, 
Kealakekua Bay area, and the Honaunau Bay area. No bait fish was 
caught in any of these areas. We headed around the southern end of 
the island. Later in the day, some dark rumped petrel were sighted. 
I had to look twice to make sure they weren ! t Wedgetails. I am rather 
surprised at how many of the boys on this ship know the birds. They 
don T t know the specific name of all of them, but they do know the groups. 
August l6 - -We have Ifteen in almost constant rain from 05^0 to 750. I 
have seen two travelling blocks of Noddy Terns. We have been traveling 
along the southeast coast of Hawaii. More rain around 10^0. We are heading 
towards Maui. We are in a flock at 1315. Noddy terns are landing on 
the watey, also they are just skimming around on top of the water. Sooty 
Tersn are staying above the rest of the flock. When the Sooty Terns 
land. They clsse their wing right away. The Noddy Terns do not seem 
to run on the water when they take off. They rise almost vertically. 
The Noddies that are feeding on our bait are making a chir-all-chirp 
sound. There is also some Hawaiian Noddy Terns in thss flock. The Noddy 
Terns stay close to the water, while the Sooty Terns stay up high. The 
fish are skipjack. The crew said the birds were fed on squid. Position 
of flock is 20° 12 T N 155° 04W. At lMf5 we were in another flock. The 
Noddies are acting the same way. The grey on the tail of the Hawaiian 
Noddy really shows up. There were at least three dark Wedgetails present.
