(3) Roaring Island (4) all down to March mature (1) About 1/2 of the previously unmarked area was so (including most of the heavy scrub) was covered for banding. 45 birds were found in previously unmarked burrows. Canaan. This brings the total known birds to 115. Four birds (marked) were in burrows and could not be reached. In the heavy scrub area the birds were found in shallow depressions or wandering about the surface. This scrub formed a near solid canopy about 4 feet high. One very weak bird was banded and was found to be creeping with ants. It may not live to maturity. Several sandy, lowery shells, same size, shape and color as eggs were found in burrows. Could this be a replacement mechanism for eggs that are lost? Left island at 1430. (weighing, wing & tail length was taken in some cases to aid in judging age.)
