3 • ug 'bird record. heard several groups of Sooty Terns pass over after 
darh this evening, and on occasion thought we detected birds moving over 
the water in the li^ht of the moon. Tomorrow n .cht the capta'n is going to 
lend us some 12 volt spotlights to use on the night watches. n n several 
occasions we have observecl two or more different species flying together 
over the water. And we have also seen several species fitting on the 
water. There may be a slight tendency to see more birds sitting on the 
water early in thr morning. If this is so it suggests that they are 
roosting on the water at night.
