We did a lot more bird banding this morning. We are about 2/3 done with the Black-footed albatross and still have the Laysan albatross to go. Greg and I did a lot of spraying this afternoon today also.
Since it was a pretty calm day today, a few of us went snorkeling out by the water barge after work. It was the first time I had been out there, and it was a good spot. There was a lot of junk down there. There were anchors, pieces of boats, engines, and all kinds of other hiding spots for fish. We also saw a 4 ft Galapagos shark. Since it was little, there was nothing to worry about. It's a great spot.
I took this picture of an octopus and pencil urchins next to a nice piece of coral a few months ago. I didn't see any octopus today, but at least it's a picture what I see sometimes when snorkeling.

Gosh, only one month left! Two things: I hope you found or will find a job back on the mainland and 2 I hope you keep blogging!
Will somebody take over the Midway Island verbesina update blog?
Wow, very cool snorkling spot and a great picture.
You need to get Greg set up with a Blogger account. That way I can keep up with his adventures and the world will be kept up to date on the Midway Island verbesina spraying.
Enjoy reading your blog and learning more about Midway. Hope that someone continues to blog about Midway after you leave. Best of luck to you in finding a job back in Cleveland.
