August 18 - -Today was spent in Hanalu Kauai Harbor. I caught up on back 
paper work. Then I went ashore and talked to Bobby at the hotel. He 
said that several Newell's had been in the hotel since we had last been 
there . 
August 19 - -I woke up with the slight tinges of a hangover. The crew 
is looking rather rough this morning. We left the harbor at 0900. In 
a lfock at 1010 . The Sooty Terns are above, the Noddy Terns and the 
Hawaiian Noddies are below. Many of theNoddies are eating the bait that 
is being thrown over for the fish - position 22° 08' N 159° 48 * W. We 
are in another flock at 1200. Eight Brown Boobies are sitting on the 
water. A Wedgetail just flew in, landed on the water, then dived 
under the water. The boys aren't having much luck in finding the 
fish. lJOO in another flock. Several Wedgetails have been observed 
to dive in the water just about like the Boobies - 22° 06 ' N 159° 52' W. 
During the day several Newell's and Harcourt's have been seen by the 
ship. Later this evening, I saw some Newell's and Harcourt's heading 
towards Niihau. 
Au gust 20 - -Today was spent in Nawiliwili Harbor. I spent most of the 
day catching up on paper work. Tonight I listened for birds, but none 
were heard. 
August 21 - -In flock at 1000. Newell* s Shearwater are all over the place 
22 02' N, l60° 05' W. Newell's feeds similar to Wedgetail, but they 
don't arc up as high. They stay fairly close to the water. They also 
tend to turn on their sides more, similar to Bonin Island Petrel flight.
