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.
