32 
of 102 wedgetails were banded. 
I did not attend to work the boobies tonight - it may kill eggs 
to disturb them at an advanced stage in incubation. Also a tidal wave 
warning at 0900 brought my efforts to an abrupt close. Don’t mind 
banding, but getting washed away is another thing.

Slept overnight at Kilauea and noted Shearwater activity on 
ground until 0605; birds began leaving for sea at 0*&5# most were gone 
by 0610. Boobies began going to sea with first gray light but some 
were still leaving at 0730. 
Back in Honolulu and with the tremors still occuring in Alaska 
our off-shore island work comes to a halt. We set about preparing a 
report and banding sumary from January 1 to March 31 which should be 
ready before April Stsrbrite.
