Johnston, D. V. 1964 19 19 Apr Wake Island huge ternery of perhaps 200,000 birds were some 150 Gray-backs and some 4-5 Brown Noddies, the latter evidently not nesting here. Just as we drove over the bridge we saw a single Fairy Tern flying along. Got a good look at the bird. Though it didn't stop anywhere. On Toki Point fish- ermen were bringing in large flounders, using fingerling mullet for bait. #1841. Pluvialis dominica. ? fol. 1 mm. 166,3 g. ½ breeding plumage. Wing 165 mm. Heavy molt solid gray-brown white K gray-brown #1842. Pluvialis dominica. ♀ testis 5 mm. Essentially breeding plumage. 151.5 g. Wing 165 mm. A little molt. Tail like 1840. Golden Plovers still present on island in moderate numbers--8 or 10 spaced out on either side of airstrip, scattered birds out on lagoon sand flats, two small flocks (7 and 6), and others scattered around on the island. Also noted 4 turnstones, 1 Tattler, and a dunlin. Just after noon we saw a White-tailed Tropicbird flying near the control tower. We also returned to the Red-tailed Tropicbirds' nests on Kuku Point. This time the same adult as before was incubating the egg but a different unbanded adult was brooding the chick. Had report of "the" sparrow at Pan Am Club ca. 7:15 in evening. From the description given me the bird was apparently a ♀ House Sparrow. In the evening we went out to Kuku Pt. to band terns, but it began to rain lightly and the moon was periodically too bright to catch the terns. We therefore contented ourselves with eradicating 5-6 cats from areas sur- rounding the ternery.
