December 26 —In the morning air force photo team took picture of nesting Frigates 
for a documentary movie on isleuids. Their disturbance of birds was not great

could band before sxinrlse to avoid almost ftill moon but heavy rainfall 
precluded this. A sooty with broken wing was collected and parasites were 
removed (viJLp no.l). Also an artificial Frigate nest was made to see if 
Frigates might show a preference for it. A survey of entire island taken in
