Amerman, Kenneth 1963 Boobies--counted sixty-seventy-five in daytime. Most on offshore markers. Only five adults on land, and one nestling, two immatures. Estimate two-hundred to three hundred at night, many immatures. One Red-footed Booby still on egg. Noddies--1000 ± 3 p.m., most in puncture vine. Perhaps two to two times this at night, surplus on wires. Many chicks, some eggs. Frigates--thirteen nestlings. F-8 and F-17 nearby ready to fly. Estimate 200 3 p.m. One hundred on sand spit by old dock, fifty on rest of Sand, rest flying. Four hundred (estimate) at night-- antenna guy wires filled. Tropicbirds--one to two fly over once or twice a day. Fiary Terns--one to five fly over several times a day. Shearwaters--1500 (estimate). Have found no eggs--all chicks seem to have hatched before I arrived. Still hope to find some to start series. Shorebirds--Twenty-two to thirty Turnstone, five to eight Golden Plover, one to two tattlers. Have seen no sign of banded plover--has either left or died; probably latter since it was very weak when I removed it from net. September 9--Three hundred sooties. Extremely hard to catch in daytime- 100/2 hours +. Even at night, w/o moon, get two to three of a flock and then have to move. September 10--Three hundred sooties, two frigates.
