Lehner P. 1949 Oct. 27 Brown Boobies were nesting in the palm fronds 50-60 feet off the ground; Fairy Terns were fairly common but I would doubt if there numbers exceeded 40; there are probably 15 Hawaiian Noddies on the island and about 150 Brown Boobies ; we banded 46 Brown Boobies, and collected four - also collected one Fairy Tern; at 9:45 we returned to the ship - the Boobies were too stirred up to work anymore; we arrived at the ship at 9:55, unloaded and called it a day;
