26 Apr Wake Island
next one barred with gray-brown on "dirty-white".
The fact that there were no plovers along the road or along the airstrip
where they have been on all prior days leads me to believe more firmly

hadn't been here on the island more than a day.
Went out to Kuku Point in the afternoon to observe nesting Sooty Terns.
They are becoming more abundant, occupying daily more area between
VOFTAC and lagoon.
