Several old Hawaiian Noddy nests were seen. I saw no Fairy Tern nests but it seems in view of their status on other islands visited on this trip, very likely that they are breeding. Several turtle excavations were seen along the beach. Mosquitoes were abundant Hermit crabs were few in number. The butterfly (Hypolimnas bolina ?) occurred on this island. Also seen Crested Tern : 1 female Great Frigate: 1 Brown Booby : 1
