King, Warren B. 1964 Kilauea Point, Kauai spread from a section of the low shrub in the center of the windward side of the peninsula to cover the entire windward side. If it is assumed that the lee- ward side will not be utilized, as it has not been up to now, the saturation point for the peninsula will very shortly be reached. It could conceivably accomodate 600-800 birds. At present there are 150 + 10 nests in various stages of completion. About 20 percent of the nests have eggs, the first of which appears to have been laid in January, according to Coast Guard personnel. There is still considerable nest building activity including aerial fights over desirable sticks or pieces of vegetation. Nests are quite similar to those of Moku Manu, being elevated from 6 inches to 3 feet above the ground, mostly in low bushes but also built up from the ground in a mound. There appears to be an overflow onto the island but no nests were seen so it may prove to be solely a roost area. About 12 Boobies were observed on the island at 0800 but these soon left. There is considerable human traffic on the point, the light- house being a tourist attraction, but the birds were remarkably tame, although this can be attributed mainly to the fact that they had nests for the most part. The point offers a unique opportunity to study Boobies because of its easy accessibility and the proximity with which the colony may be visited. Population censuses can best be made from the next point to the east where the entire colony should be visible. On the windward side of this next point to the east there is supposed to be a small colony of Brown Boobies numbering 25 or so but the cliff on which they roost or nest? is inaccessible. The point area does double duty in the summertime, playing host to a sizeable Wedge-tailed Shearwater population, numbering over 100 pairs judging from the number of burrows to be found. These extend around to the leeward side of the point as well. The burrows are restricted to the more elevated
