R.Clapp - 1964 Nov. 10 At Sea and Jaluit Atoll Population Estimates for Kabbenbock Island Species Wiwlocki est. Huber est. Fairy Tern 10 4 Black-naped Tern 7 5 Crested Tern 3 2 Reef Heron 6 4 Whimbrel 1 1 Wandering Tattler 5 16-18 Golden Plover 13 6 Ruddy Turnstone 40 35 Common Noddy 4 8 Hawaiian Noddy 20-25 2 Huber states that his estimates are based on counts. The discrepancy in Hawaiian Noddy indicates someone's error. Since No Hawaiian Noddy were seen on the adjacent island, Erybor, by Amerman, Lehner, and myself, I would tend to favor the lower figure. Huber and Wislocki collected a dark phase Reef Heron and a Crested Tern. Huber also notes that there were chickens being kept by the single native family inhabiting the island. The only other "real " discrepancy in the above estimates are the two figures on Wandering Tattler. I have no way of knowing which might be the more accurate. Wislocki notes that pigs were being kept on this island also. A small species of lizard (not the large form noted on Erybor) was seen and apparently was the "Blue-tailed Skink",(the form with the dark dorsal striping.) No nests were seen by either Wislocki or Huber.
