Lehner, P. 1964 83 Oct. 23 - continued rats, mosquitos and ants are numerous, making the island an unpleasant place to recline on the forest floor and rest; at 6:00 Roger and I took the shotgun to collect unusual shorebirds - we didn't find any; it was immediately obvious that the fairly numerous Red-footed Boobies (I estimated 150-200) were way too high to work with - they were nesting 40 to 60 feet high; the Scaevola on the windward East side shows the marked effect of strong winds and is very low at the beach, graduating to higher bushes for 75 yards back to the Pisonia ; at 6:30 we completed our circuit of Jemo and sat down at the camp to discuss possible procedures for the night; at 7:20 P.M.
