Johnston, D. W. 1964 28 25 Apr Wake Island 15 Wandering Tattlers (got two of these, one of which was in breeding plumage). This was of considerable interest for it was the first flock of tattlers seen here by us. Also, a flock of 10 Ruddy Turnstones in breeding plumage flew over me and lit along the edge of the sand flat.

Could they be resting from an arduous migratory flight last night for certainly they weren't here yesterday They proved to be quite wary and I managed to get only 2 by wing-shooting. #1859.
