Hawaiian Noddy Tern
1
January 4--Pacific Ocean, 2nd day out Oahu, Hawaiian I.
One bird seen at 1010 flew around the ship once and then left. Flight pattern
is quite different from that of Common Noddy Tern, being much lighter with faster and
more rapid wing beats. It resembles a stron Storm Petrel flight.
March 3--Pacific Ocean, 2nd day out Oahu
9 birds altogether. Most seemed to be associated fairly closely with Sooty
Terns. Several actually in the same flock feeding.
