K. Amman 1964 Tarzij Atoll - Marshall Islands Sibyla Is. 5 Blue-faced were found on the west side, which is littered with rocks, shell rubble, boards and yes, fish balls. About 20 Brown Boboies were banded along this same stretch. Three or four Red-tailed Tropic birds nests were found, one with egg, one with 2-3 day old chick. Numbers of Blue-faced increased sharply along the east shore, with many pairs, one immature and one egg. Red-foots also in greater concentration, 6-7 in a tree. Returned to camp at midnight. Banding totals - 100 Red-foots, 74 Brown or Blue-faced, 9 Fairy Terns. The other team got 216 Red-foots and about 10 Blue-faced. Many rats and hermit crabs. Only about 5 Noddies seen or heard. Frigates scattered throughout, nests mainly along east side, with 1/4 - 1/2 Brown chicks. Some Red-foots or eggs. Oct 11. Slept badly, got up about 0745 & wrote notes. Two groups of ducks reported by the early risers. Also a few Hawaiian Noddies. Saw my first Crested Terns on rocks at the water's edge in front of camp. At least - seal terns! Gray wings + back, black cap, large yellow bill. Roger, Larry & I headed SW after. Breakfast (0900) to survey, collect shorebirds, etc. Larry banded Tropic birds along the way.
