Yesterday in lakes saw a heron and several yellow legs, but neither 
day could get shot at them, very wary, jumped into flight at least provoca¬ 
tion. Today by duck's nest saw a phalarope. Sat down under tree to watch 
duck’s nest, but ducks aid not come back. Iguana half under rock. Rain 
kept me from talcing picture of its ostrich-like hiding of head and forepart 
of body; save a few leaves of trees. Got back hour before supper, 5 p.m. 
April 10, forenoon. Went back to "lakes” with Freddie and Baron 
so they might photo ducks; no chance &t yellow legs today either. On way 
back caught iguana for Freddy to be photo’d with. Skirmished around by 
myself a while, believe I got a shot at a Tropidurus lizard. 
On ivay back to ship met Hansen, the movie operator, coming back 
along goat trail paralleling northern bluff of low land back of Aeolian Bay. 
ne told me of a duck's nest he happened upon and almost stepped on over by 
other lakes near eastern shore of island; so after lunch I prevailed upon 
him to wander back with me and show it to me. Dark and drizzling, but, 
nevertheless, tried a few shots (lucky I did because I did not get bach;, 
oaw Geospiza nest witn oird flying in and out feeding young? and meat 
goat assembly place. Can lakes over here be permanent? [I doubt it.]
