R.Clapp - 1964 Nov. 11, 1964 Jaluit Atoll The island had relatively few coconut trees (3-4) and the sandy beaches supported a series of ghost crabs. There was much Pisonia and much Pemphis. Huber noted that Frigates roosted primarily in Pämphis while many of the Red-footed Booby were rossting in Pämoħā. The Pemphis had a more northerly distribution on the island, while the Pisonia was found to the south. Hawian Noddy nests were found in large numbers (estimate 500 Amerman) in both Pemphis and and Pisonia. Amerman notes that all Sooty Tern shot had brood pouches but there were no traces of eggs or nests. Most of the Sooties were found on tthe ground in under the edge of the forest. Two well grown Crested Tern chicks were found and many of the nesting Fairy Terns had large chicks almost ready to fly. Only about four Common Noddy nests were found. Two of these were on palm fronds about 2-3 feet from the ground.
