Lehner, P. 1964 164 Nov. 16 - continued 7 was far from restful, but we managed to sleep some anyway. Birds collected for the atoll for today are as follows: 2 Godwits, 1 Curlew, 2 Wandering Tattlers, 3 Golden Plover, 1 Common Noddy, 6 Hawaiian Noddies, and 1 Black-naped Tern, and 21 Ruddy Turnstones. We also saw two fish weirs that had been constructed out of piled stone; they were located in the tidal zone on the northwest end of the atoll - just north of the north passage; they are constructed as follows: Island fish fish tide Tidal zone Ocean as the tide goes out the fish recede with it and some are forced into the pockets that are left dry by the tide.
