valleys preceeding t Jaw Wedge-tailed I Tropicbirds in several of 
these. Then on the leeward side the rain forest rather abruptly gave 
way to first semi-arid, then almost fully desert conditions. Cactus, 
century plants etc. It is ray impression that the doves aid sparrow* here 
were lighter in plumage tone than cm the windward side. A series of s |

birds from each side would be very helpful. The desert side continues 
all the way to Kikei, although the last 10 miles before Klhei is damper, 
than the preceeding areas. Cattle grange over most of this area. 
I stopped again at the Klhei Pond area and counted 7 Herons, 3 
Sanderllngs and photographed a lone subadult glaucous gull sitting on 
the mud flats. Then I called it a day and went home to a luau at the 
Ansai's - very bushed. The rxde rround Maui is very rough and difficult.

Today went around main-head, after a O 630 -O 70 O watch at the 1$0 
valley for leaving petrels this AM. But none were noted. In the 
trip around the head, no seabirds were seen. Several of the valley's 
were good reservoirs of area for White-tailed Tropicbirds, but none 
were seen. A great many Rock Doves were seen along the way, but few 
Chinese Doves, white-eyes, and Cardinals 4 This is a dry area most of 
the way, Lahina in particular.
