R.Clapp - 1964 Nov. 10 - At Sea and Jaluit Atoll. Skinned birds in the morning and mid-afternoon. (Common Noddy, Hawaiian Noddy, Sandpiper sp., etc.) Sighted Jaluit at about 1100 but it was not until 1500 that we completed our entrance into the lagoon and dropped the hook. While Binion conferred with the town scribe, the rest of us visited two islands (Enybor and . Lehner, Amerman, Perkins and I went to Enybor, Huber and Wislocki to Population Estimates for Enybor Wandering Tattler - 7-8 Scattered individuals Golden Plover - 5-7 " Ruddy Turnstone - 10 One small flock, ocean side Curlew sp? - 1 Reported by Amerman Reef Heron - 5-6 2 dark, 1 white, 3 mottled. Crested Tern - 2 Stern sp. - 1-2 1 collected Black-naped Tern - 15 roosting on sand spit Fairy tern - 10 1 collected Common Noddy - 20 3 collected Of particular interest was the fact that no Hawaiian Noddy were seen. The cover of the island included coconut, Pandanus, Messerschmidtia and seemed suitable for this species but not a single individual was observed. The Common Noddies were seen roosting in palms and three were collected in flight. A much smaller number of Fairy Terns was seen.( Only 3 seen and heard by me) There were many dark greenish lizards, about 5 inches long, which were primarily found on the coconut trees. One was collected. On this island , as seems to be generally the case on these Pacific atolls, Pemphis occurred primarily on the ocean side of the island. Brush was very dense in the interior and quite difficult to work through. In the center of the island were several holes containing fresh or brackish water. (They were apparently old bomb craters) However, the vegetation around the edge of these holes was so great that it seems highly improbable if a duck could use them at any time.
