Lehner, P.
1965
JAN. 31
today found a Red-tailed Tropicbird again under
the east end of the old pier; the one by the
power house paint locker is still there, also, but
neither has laid an egg yet; found 2 Ad. Red-footed
Boobies dead from broken wings; set mouse traps
at 1330 and censused and mapped Sooties; caught
40 Sooties after 2400, 30 of which were returns,
and checked for molt and brood patches; none
of them showed any sign of a brood patch and
only one had any molt ( the fourth tail feather
in was in molt).
Gray-backed Tern eggs: Islet 18 total, 3 new, 3 destroyed
Pier 4 total, 2 new
