DROPPINGS FROM THE EAGLE'S ROOST 
July 12, 1966 
Sometime last week Jane looked into Binion's and Jaye Cee's 
room and realized that Jaye Cee no longer even had foot room (we 
haven't figured out yet which is the worse pack rat). Yesterday 
they were moved down into 605 with Mary and things look a little 
more spacious. Saverna moved hack into 601, Ruth changed places 
with Anne, Jane and Anne moved into 601A. We trust that all hands 
will he a little more comfortable. 
We talked with Honolulu yesterday - Chuck and Jan not able to 
get to the mainland and where will they go once they get there'. 
Back here Dr. Humphrey cancelled his leave period before the I.O.C. 
but Mrs. Humphrey was still scheduled to take the Scottish Islands 
bird cruise. Things look pretty bleak right now as no one has been 
able to get her on any flight which will make the proper connections. 
Next week Pat, Dr. and Mrs. Ely and Dr. Humphrey are scheduled to 
leave and we are beginning to have severe doubts about those trips 
too. 
We hear that Binion is down on Sand Island - nice that he could 
get back. Rumor has it that Brian is in Honolulu, that Dick Maze 
and Jim Lewis are en route Kure, that Phil and Frank are on Sand. 
My apologies to Sand Island for not having sent them copies of their 
reports all these months I We will back-order to February and send 
them all out at once. Did Kure also want to receive xeroxed copies 
of their bi-weekly summaries? I don't think that I've been sending 
them out there either. 
Mary is on leave and Jan has beengoing to Interior for her. 
He brought back a Black-foot recovery, 737 - 32046, found dead on 
beach 2 miles south of the entrance to Gray's Harbor, Gray's 
Harbor County, Washington. It was an adult, banded on Southeast, P 
& H, 02-28-63- He also picked up 12 bands which had been sent in 
by one James A. Corsi from Johnston (it might be a good idea to see 
if he's still there and have him report them directly to us??). 
In case we are keeping any records on these birds, the numbers were 
913-01732, 913 - 07595, 913 - 03023, 913 - 08279, 913 - 17018, 
913 - 11927, 913 - 16558, 913 - 13820, 913 - 12831, 933 - 60486, 
933 - 84675, 933 - 71125- In the course of yesterday's move we also 
found a letter from the Philippines concerning 777 - 55812, a 
Frigatebird which was found after a typhoon at San Ramon, Claveria, 
Masbate on May 19, 1966. It died (this may have been reported earlier 
but I'm not sure). We also found 737 - 38376, a Blackfoot which was 
captured and released with band intact at 47°00'N, l4l°15'W.
