Sept.15,1967 We all saw the mockingbird which flew up behind us on the south slope 
(Kridler) near the haxsxHi east base of Flagpole TTil ~l (?), before it flew out 
of sight around the rocks. Although we kept watch for it the rest of 
the day, we never saw it again. It was observed at a distance of about to yards. 
The autolight ( ) feathers on the long tail, the white wing patches, 
gray coloration, undulating si flight were all plainly seen and si distinctive. Several 
years ago Smithsonian personnel and Binion Amerson collected one on Tern Island, 
French Frigate Shoals.
