Species Account 1966 Ruddy Turnstone Lirianchi 16-19 June Actual count 7 119 on 18 June. 82 Of theremore in the flock on the large roval outcroppings on E side of island. Numbers were considerable on this rocky point last year in July. About 25% of all birds seen were in full, or very close to full breeding plumage. On the flock 7 82 on the large rock right side of island, one st. Great landed bird was spotted and attested. Unfortunately 13 others fell with the banded bird. Over 20 total were attested, so May T. should have nice series of summering birds to work with. Estimate 7 150 on island.
