Mar [March] 11/62 [1962] Maria Madre Island. Mx [Mexico]
Landed on s [south] end for 4 1/2 hours, climbed to
the flat via roadway + walked 2 miles or s
westward through semiopen very arid second
growth scrub forest. Almost nothing alive
in it. On beach + rocky shore saw
whimbrels, tattlers, spotted sandpipers, 3
white herons with black legs + yellow feet
1 large blue heron seen several times
+ reasonably close, Could have collected it
with the 12 ga [gauge] but today I had the 410.
In the brush saw 2 small coveys of
Quail + shot 1 bird, also took an orange
crowned warbler - I think this is new
to the islands.
March 12. San Juanita Island.
Landed on the S [south] beach at 10 AM. In
making my third landing I got caught
in the surf + got everything wet.
Fortunately field glasses + camera
had gone ashore on second trip.
The colony of blue-footed boobies
is between 1000 + 1200 nests. On
the stack to the N.W. [northwest] there is a
large colony of brown boobies +
tropic birds Frigates are common
but I do not know if they are
nesting.
The island is unbelievably arid
