Lehner, R.
1905
Feb. 5
ran the mouse grid - still getting a large
trap success; ran gufwire census; Sooties fairly thick
near the island in the morning; 1010 saw a
Great Frigate bird chasing a Red-tailed Tropicbird
at a high altitude; Norm found a broken egg
(probably a Common Noddy or Sooty) on the Island;
we took the 6 Sooty Tern Plot pictures but
recorded the date as the 4th in the picture;
3 Red-tailed Tropicbirds over the island again today;
Sooties started arriving in multitudes by 1845.
