Y'all

Well, shee-it.  Ain't much goin on round here.  I done went round the island today and did some stuff with the birds and shit.  I seen a dolphin.  I seen a Noddy.  Them Noddies be buildin' nests right now.  They grabbin hella shit off the ground and flyin it up to their trees.  Purty sick.  Hell, I'm feelin' purty hungry, Ima go eat some shit now.  Later y'all.

I seen me some Spinner Dolphins today down off the cargo pier.  I ain't never seen no dolphins down there before.  Purty cool.

Y'all a wanna twig?  I done found this'n.  I ain't gon' need it no more.

I'm An Artist

Last night was bowling.  I rolled a 133.  Totally respectable.  We started doing our Survivorship Plots for Laysan Albatross today.  Lotsa work left to do.  I rented season 4 of BSG today.  Getting ready  for that whole ordeal.  The weather has been ridiculously nice lately.  I heard it was going to be cold out here during winter, but so far it's effing paradise every day.  Sorry, everyone else.  Hey speaking of winter, what should I get people for Christmas?  I'm at a loss.

Another Wedge-tailed Shearwater chick, running around scared.

Here's part of yesterday's dolphin show.  This is what happens when you try to take photos of things that are 10 feet away with a 400mm lens.  It doesn't fit in the frame, so you call it art.  Look everyone - Art.

Double Dip Lifer Day

So I saw two species today for the first time in my life.  Of course, this is only a small consolation when I think about a certain duck that my "friends" are seeing in California right now.  You miserable bastards.  Anyway, we spent the entire day over on Eastern Island banding hella goonies.  I got a couple of nice goonybites for my trouble, to go along with a couple of nice lifers.  Mahalo.

Masked Booby.  Thus completes my Booby Trifecta. (unless I can find a Nazca, but I don't even want to think about that...)

Spinner Dolphin.  They just look kind of silly when you look at them captured on camera hanging motionless 2 feet above the water.  But seriously, these things are legit.
