Vomiting Green Slime

Typical day.  Went to Eastern.  Banded birds.  Came home.  Picked up trash on the beach.  Although, on Eastern we encountered a vicious monster Black-footed Albatross.  It bit the shit out of Karen, barfed green slime, bit the shit out of Pete, then finally got banded.  Probably this was the most interesting thing that happened today.  I will now be heading over to the All Hands Club to drink and decorate for the Christmas party.  Mahalo.

Th crew at dinner: Intense one on the left is Karen.  Goofy in the middle is Ann.  The British on the right is Nik.

Another Gray Goony.  This one is incubating an egg, so apparently it convinced someone to mate.  No small feat for a half-blood.

Chillaxing

The day was relaxed (chill).  I went birding a little bit, drank a couple of beers, and finished season 3 of Battlestar Galactica.  I now know the identities of four of the final five.  I only guessed one correctly before watching.  Also, I missed the boat to go out snorkeling at some exclusive and amazing reef (life was pain).  I guess it's now time to go watch Miracle on 34th Street.  Merry Christmas to the Fays and friends tonight.  May they rage and be filled with the Christmas Spirit.

Red-tailed Tropicbirds are hecka pretty.  This is what they look like in color after they're all grown up.

This is one of the Gray Goonies I have seen around the Island.  It is a hybrid between a Laysan and a Black-footed Albatross.  Nobody seems to want to hang out or mate with them, so you usually feel a bit sorry for them and like them more.
