March 13 Trig Is., French Frigate Shoal 2 birds found in shallow burrow under Septimus March 14 White-Shark, FF Shoals None observed March 18 Layson Island About 25 birds were found, mostly under Scandela, on the NW corner of the island. Most birds were calling. All were alone or grand. No eggs were observed although a mate of the birds were paired. Some birds around Layson. March 19 Layson Island More than 70 birds were seen around a rock shelf along the north beach around 9:30-10 am while conducting a survey for seals. These birds were all grouped (running the shelves) so it is likely that the population in this area was double or possibly triple the mate of birds that were observed. Another small group of birds was found along the south + southwest beaches March 20 Lisianski Island About 20 birds were scattered here and there with dense growth of Scandela. None found in burrows. No egg or chicks were observed. Paired birds were common.
