R.D. Kirkpatrick 1964 Fregata minor Land Island Johnston Atoll, Pacific Oct. 6 PM. An immature, unbanded 19 Great Frigatebird was being kept on a small islet where a WWII bunker is located because its right wing was damaged when it flew into a guywire of the highest Loran tower. When we approached it to force-feed it fish it took off. After flying poorly for about 40 feet, it started flying well and soon was lost among the hundreds of others of the same species that were circling around. Nov: SA Terry Dutcliffe and some other 28 Coast Guardsmen including enlisted men from the USS Blackhaw; fired many rounds from small arms on the island. Nov Chief Riggins and I examined 29 8 birds (including band #2737- 44543, 737-44241, 737-44542) dead from being shot, probably with a .22 caliber weapon. Dec P.M. The nesting or breeding colony 2 was deserted and the 5 nests (3 with eggs) were apparently abandoned since the eggs were rolled away from the nests.
