We are still snowed under with handing returns - we haven't 
dared to count to see how many were turned in during the past month 
hut it was a staggering number. The Monthly Field Report which 
came in from Honolulu listed 227,118 birds handed during June. 
The interisland movements have been fascinating - a Ruddy Turnstone 
from St. George collected on Lisianski. We have over 400 inter¬ 
island birds during this one month. We attach the interisland 
movements page of the June Monthly Field Summary just to let 
everybody see for himself what we're turning up. 
We had a letter in from Max this week - the Turnstones are 
coming in. He and Bob are batching it and therefore don't have 
to get to meals on time anymore. It's cold up there and it's 
hot here - there should be someplace in :mid-continent where the 
northern air and the southern air could meet and that would be 
the place to move to.
