R.D Kirkpatrick 1964 Journal Sand Island Johnston Atoll, Pacific Ocean Oct. There were bird-like tracks from the 28 burrow entrance to the sand pile but (cont) no tracks left the area and nothing was in the 3 that we tore into. Dennis thinks a crab did it and I think a bird constructed the burrow. Oct. The mouse traps were examined. 29 We counted the birds on Thurs North Island. There were 22 Ruddy Turnstones (I had an orange streamer on it from Sand Is.), 12 Golden Plovers, and 1 Wandering Tattler.

Fri Richard Fleming rode with us on a 3rd bicycle. Oct. We censused birds on Sand Island 31 and ran hourly counts of Frigatebirds Sat. and Red-Footed Boobies.
