R.D Kirkpatrick 1964 Phaethon rubricauda Sand Island, Johnston Atoll, Pacific. Oct. 6 PM We fed the three young 19 Red-tailed Tropiebirds that are being kept on the small islet where the WWII bunker is located. These were placed there from Johnston Island where their nests were bulldozed away last week. Each of the three ate 6 to 8 5 inches-long fish Oct. The 2 smaller yg. birds were dead. 23 The larger of the 2 was collected and frozen. Oct. The remaining yg. bird apparently 26 flew away since it could not be located. Nov. Band # 615-01686 was placed on 3 an adult. Nov. 1:30 P.M. One bird was observed flying 9 over the island. Nov. The young bird on Johnston Island is 21 gone, presumably having flown away. Nov. 11 P.M. A single adult circled over the island 27 then lit. We picked it up and put on it band # 615-01822.
