volt scale beam lights f-nd picked up many species of birds flying over the 
the water and overhead as they do in the daytime. It appears that there 
were as many or more birds active tonie-ht as there were during: the day today. 
The large floodlights which ve heve used each night do not seem to attract 
them, but these small spots pick them up as they move over the water. 
Several birds wore seen with smell silvery fish in their beaks. 
We find that we are getting quite tired being out in the sun so 
much, and are do ng little more than eating:, sleeping and maintaining 
the watch. I'M sure for oeople will be needed on future trips. 
It Is now 2^00 hours snd we are ppproxim?tel?/ 50 miles east of 
Johnston* We will pass there in the ni^ht e.nd ro on to the study area 
tomorrow, getting ther^ ebout noon.
