Amerman, Kenneth 1964 7 Maximum of 500-600 Frigates in air 2-3 times, plus many smaller groups up to 100+. The small groups probably were successive as we went around. No estimate of total. Only __Masked Boobies present. Small (on centration (10 - 12) on east shore. Red-feet generally far into vegetation, nearer outside edge; more numerous on east side. One immature Red-tailed Tropicbird under Scaevola on east side. One Hawaiian Noddy egg, one chick about 4 feet apart in Scaevola. A total of 80+ Laysan Teal, all on east shore. Probably many more in morning glory. Apparently the lack of them on the west side is due to the greater width of unvegetated shore. Returned to camp about 3 p.m. Shortly after this the guys from the raft came by and Bob Banner came struggling up with a surfboard of all things which he'd found in his jaunt around. Other team still not back so I went walking north along the shore. Found Fairy Terns nesting on rocks along the shore; 17 birds, 4 chicks, no eggs. Many Wedgetail burrows under same rocks. Before going on survey Alan and I had gone in to the lagoon, finding about 40 teal. Walked back along beach. Small groups of Sooty Terns (100 or so) along edge of vegetation. One Fairy Tern egg under grass clump. Small groups of Wedgetails, up to 20 and many individuals and plus setting on beach. Dick reports two orange tagged Sooties and one Wedgetail. Returned to camp about 6 p.m. The other team finally returned shortly thereafter. They report about five rocky areas containing Fairy Terns, large Christmas Island chicks and three Bulwer's chicks. No counts on other birds; too far from vegetated areas. Over 200 seals
