Brown Booby
The three Brown Boobies were seen just off Oahu.
Red-footed Booby
All but one of the 67 Red-footed Boobies were seen along Oahu.
One other bird was seen in a feeding flock on the 19th.
Great Frigatebird
One bird of this species was seen on 19 April within 200 miles
of Oahu.
Sooty Tern
The 136 Sooty Terns were all seen within 300 miles of Oahu.
Arctic Tern
One bird was positively identified as this species. It was hovering
over a glass fishing float. The bird was probably resting on the float
and was flushed by the approaching ship. Three other terns that were
not specifically identified were probably Arctic Terns. These three
birds were flying in a northerly direction.
