groggy and sleepy. We are running three hour wc tehee with two men per 
watch from 0600 to 2400. 
The watch divisions of the ship have had a little pep talk on 
bird watching and have a few of o\ir guides to look through. hey have 
been instructed to wake one of us during the ni-ht if any birds are noted 
around the ship. During the day the ship’s watch notifies the bird watch 
of birds seen off the stern by foi.ir rings on the phone near the helo deck, 
and by two rings of birds seen from the bridee. we can see the men on 
the bridge they point to the bird after attracting our attention by ringing 
the phone. They have been very good about this end frequently point out 
birds off at a distance which we mi^ht have missed. The men h-ve 
gotten quite interested in this end our phone has been Jinglin’ constantly 
today. The midnight to 0600 watches are keening note of any ird calls 
heard during the night and they have been instructed to try to catch any 
bird which lands on the ship during the night.
