C. L. Soran Station, Sand S. Johnston Stoll 13 July 15, 1963 This morning I checked on the marked Wedge-tailed Shearwater burrows. Three out of the 8 active nests were without birds. The eggs were cold. Three of the birds already banded were present and two new ones were banded. Two nesting Frigate birds were banded and one more Xmas I. Shearwater was found and banded. During the late morning I obtained ectoparasites from a Sooty Tern adult: ( Mallophaga, nasal chiggers, and feather-mites). Also a Frigate bird with a broken wing was processed but only a few Mallophaga were found. No mites of any kind were found. The Berlese sample was also processed. A large number of Aconidae were found. Again Cheylatida were present. After dusk I waded ones to the islet (low tide) and banded 9 Frigate birds and an immature Masked Booby. I returned back to the mainland and during the night (until 11:15) banded 42 Frigatebirds ( 1 ♀, 32 ♂, 9 imm. ) and seven Red-footed Boobies (6 imm. and 10 adult). A common Noddy nest sample was placed in the Berlese funnel during the late afternoon also. Ken Wilz banded 200, adult Sooty Terns after dark. We both finished our respective banding at about the same time. July 16, 1963 Wrote field notes this morning. Checked Frigate nests again and finished numbering all nests. Banded 2 more adult Brown Boobies. Immature Red-footed Boobies noted sitting by nests of adults on eggs. Could these be last years young? Processed Common Noddy nest from
