I have made tentative arrangements for some aerial photos 
of the island to be taken next month. We still have no lab 
space. We have set up mist nets on the grassy areas about the 
buildings and are having some luck with shorebirds. We got 
another Srolla ? in a net last night* and I caught a duck last 
night. It looks like a scaup or goldeneye* except that it is 
much too small* and apparently adult. Another ??? We are 
getting fair numbers of golden plovers in the nets for banding* 
and a few turnstones. 
I must close now if I wish to get this on the plane. We 
are well* and I feel the work is going well. Regards to all in 
D, C.
