Clapp, Roger 1964 On the next feeding I did not see the food species as the bird flew to its nest. After feeding the young it flew by me to the tree on the edge of the cliff and gave several loud alarm calls (much unlike the belled Kingfisher. Sitting in the tree it gave a number of low pitched calls which might best be syllabized as a "chuck-a-lwhee" the last phrase quite faint. The louder call notes given in flight were harsh and distinct. March 9--Took a ride around the island from about 4:30 - 6. Shorebirds are noticeably sparse this time. Only four to five (Wandering ?) Tattlers seen in 10 to 15 miles ? of coastline. No Reef Herons seen anywhere along island coast this visit. Also seen along the coastline, one Red- footed Booby, one Brown Booby, one Great Frigate. March 11--Another uneventful day at sea. Completed all odds and ends necessary for going ashore at Jarvis. A total of thirty birds seen from 7:30 to 1808 and very few by me. (fourteen Wedgetail, three White-tailed Tropicbird, three Noddy, four sooty, and two Fairy Tern; one immature Red-footed Booby). So far our at sea observations between Samoa and northern islands have been notable in five respects. 1. Relatively few birds have been seen. 2. Fairy Terns have been relatively abundant 3. There have been mostly (mixed tern flocks) 4. Pterodroma have been infrequent. 5. Almost all tropicbirds have been White-tailed.
