February 1965 BCF 7 Fairy Tern Numbers remained fairly constant. Eighteen were seen in February compared with 22 in January. As was the case in January the greatest concentration of birds was in the southwestern part of the area up to 20°N. Pomarine Jaeger Two of the three birds seen were within sight of Oahu. The bird was 250 miles from nearest land, northeast of the high Hawaiian Islands. This species should all but disappear from the area in the next two months as its breeding season nears. Phalarope sp. Eight birds were recorded in February. Peak numbers should occur in March as the spring migration reaches its peak. It was impossible to identify these birds to species. They were never seen long enough to permit a really close scrutiny. They pay no attention to ships, unlike the similar appearing Sanderling. At least two and perhaps more were flushed from the water. Bristle-thighed Curlew On 9 February a single bird passed overhead, heading southeast, calling as it flew. This is the first occurrence of this species in the BCF area.
