Johnston, D. W. 1964 9 15 Apr Wake Island on the island. Whereas 2-7 days ago around the lagoon edge, especially the SE end, we saw numerous Golden Plovers, turnstones, and a few tattlers,today there were none of these to be seen at this point. In fact, a search of a larger area showed only a couple dozen Golden Plovers and very few Turnstones. Thus, at least the g. p. must be taking off on their long overseas flight at this time molting heavily--see specimens of today. One of the workmen told me today of the presence of sparrows on the island, one of which he has seen (last evening). According to his story someone brought a pair (?) of "common sparrows" ("same as in U.S.") on the island and released them recently. The one he saw came to feed at the Pan Am Club late last evening, and from his description could have been a female House Sparrow. 14 Apr #1835. Sula leucogaster ad ?, fol. to 5 mm. Found dead at nest; injury on forehead. Feet, bill pale greenish-white. Very littler fat. 15 Apr Tonight Bob went out to the Flipper Point colony and banded 1000 Sooty Terns, about 45 Gray-backed Terns (ad. and yng.). Then about 10 adult Common Noddies on the rocks at Kuku Pt. Also roosting on these rocks at night were a few Brown Boobies but they weren't caught for bending. 16 Apr This morning I took a drive to sand flats of lagoon, then on around lagoon edge and airstrip edge to the W end of the airstrip, back along the S edge of airstrip to Peacock Pt. and return. On sand flats tide was going out--saw scattered 25 Golden Plovers, 3 Wandering Tattlers, and 2 Buddy Turnstones. A d' Great Frigate-bird flew directly overhead; it was solid
