14 June 1964 MANANA Is. - Oahu
SUN.
Left Kapa 0700 for Manana, stayed until
1700 banding; every Tern young - King, Hustled,
Eggs & banded 1900 birds. At one pt. we
saw a Noddy (common) with an Orange sheen -
a Johnston Island bird. This is the 1st record of
any Johnston bird turning up on the offshore
islands.
Some of the young sooty's are almost flying -
catching them down was difficult.
Anous stolidus - Common sight - 2 birds
flying together over the island again & again. What is
junction - a courtship flight? Most Noddies
now have eggs or very small young.
Also seen today - Wandering Tattler (1)
Frigates over Kapa
Red-footed boobies in channel between Rabbit & Oahu.
