Lehner, P. 1965 Feb.3 - continued heading for "the other end"; we didn't set the mouse traps, but helped stow the gear away which had been up on the roof. Feb. 4 the shutters were left down all night and all morning so everyone slept late; at low tide we counted Gray-backed Tern eggs: Islet: 12 total, 2 new; Pier: 7 total, 1 new, 1 destroyed Two Red-tailed Tropicbirds flew over the island today - they appeared to be still looking for a nesting site; fixed bike and got it back in pretty good shape; put rubber shock pads on the lead end of the cannon missiles in anticipation of their getting banged around on rocks; found an adult Red-footed Booby and adult Great Frigatebird dead on the east shore; two Christmas Island Shearwaters at the concrete slab on the east beach - one under the slab, one outside - still no egg; another X-mas Island Sh. on east shore: band #: 514-78013; a large number (75-100) of both Brown and Red-footed Boobies are spending a lot of the daylight hours in the nesting colony (near the highest point of the island), but don't appear to be there after sundown.
