- burrow contained an adult male but
I did not find a chick with it. This
burrow was 12 ft [feet] deep + complicated
+ I might have missed the chick. Two
burrows excavated at midnight each
contained a chick + 2 adults [male symbol] + [female symbol]
A characteristic burrow was about
6 ft [feet] deep, none less than 4 ft [feet], about
6" [inches] in diameter + somewhere along
its length all burrows had a
chamber 12 inches or more long +
broad. This was large enough to
permit the adults to flap their wings
+ such [word crossed out] the sounds of this flapping, such
as frequently accompanies preening
was freq [word crossed out] heard on 3 occassions [occasions]
From the chamber usually several burrows
run in different directions but only one or
perhaps two are more than 10" [inches] to a
foot deep. The long one contains a terminal
nest chamber, now plastered with dung.
Nest material consisted of a handful of
dry or green salal leaves.
In several burrows marked by
me birds entered before 10 o'clock +
did not leave till 3. It seems to me
then that most of the birds brought
in just one lot of feed a night.
Loads of food consisted of up to 6 small
herring 2 1/2 " [inches] long - carried in the beak, or one or
up to 4 needle fish 3" [inches] - 5" [inches] long.
