10 July, 1964- continued: ready to band adult Boobies at the Kilauea light- 
house. We left the apartments about 1930 and headed for Kauai valley to 
listen for Newells, none were heard. We then went to the Plantation to 
see if any Newells wandered by, none had, then we went to the Booby colony. 
At the colony we banded 32 Red-footed. Boobies and 31 Wedgetailed Shearwaters. 
The (some of) Boobies and Wedgetails were returns. I think: many more adult 
Boobies could have been banded if we would have had a snake catcher. The 
Boobies took off very quickly our second time through the colony. We quit 
banding at 2355 and headed back to the Plantation to see if any Newells 
had happened in while we were gone. There were none. In summary of our 
trip to Kauai - I think the Newell Shearwater is present in many of the 
canyons on the high cliffs, but not in any great numbers on any one cliff, 
because of limited nesting (burrows) spaces. If the birds we heard calling 
at night were not Newell Shearwaters, (maybe Harcourts Storm Petrel, but I 
doubt it) they were some unidentified bird as of yet, which is unlikely. 
The cry reminded me somewhat of a baby, it is rather hard to describe. 
With proper equipment )ropes) the higher cliffs could be examined. Also, 
more time would be needed than four days. It would be best to be in the 
valleys at night and try and locate the location of the birds, then try 
-climbing to the location in the daytime. (i would like to try again some- 
t ime ) .
