McKeon Island
16 Oct. 1968 N point of the lagoon
A club noted here in degrees which
is a bit unusual in itself, contains
20 advanced immature (flying quittng
or wing & dorsal area, especially wing)
To near adults (with some getting
only on pump), 25 adults were
also with their immatures and subadults.
The entire group patrolled out to a
few islands in the lagoon before I could
get a good look at bands or even make
an estimate of how many banded.
Completed and made today is
believed to be 97% accurate with all
mobilized parties.
Total no. pairs of island
