Lehner, P. 1905 Jan. 28 noticed a lot of Red-tailed Tropicbird activity over the island today; there was one Red-tailed Tropicbird sitting under the old pier and one in the east shore bunker but neither had an egg - another was with the chick on the SW side of the causeway- 3 others were flying over the island looking for nesting sites; a few Common Noddies were on the islet at noon; the Gray-backed Tern eggs total: 6 on the pier and 9 on the islet; I made a nesting site (2'x2'x 3/4" plywood roof 2 feet off the ground) for the Red-tailed Tropicbirds, but 'it has not been used yet (Feb.3); called Lee McCAFFERY at H&N and reserved a vehicle for Saturday (30th) afternoon.
