Leewards #13. 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.
