Lehner, P. 1965 JAN. 27 recovered one broken wing Sooty Tern; three Red-tailed Tropicbirds have been spending a great deal of time flying over the island - both in the "backwards" courting flight and swooping and hovering low looking for nest sites; found a dead juv. Red-footed Booby dead on the east shore and a live Redfoot adult on the south shore, both with broken wings; Gray-backed Tern eggs now total 8 on the islet and 8 on the pier; there are about 14 Great Frigatebird eggs on the plot near the SE rim of the bunker.
