Rd Brown Bosley McKean Island 21 Oct. A fairly noteworthy case has occurred at Nest #9. On the 15 Oct a B.1 Band # 167-40882 (Newbird) was perceived at a nest (9) with one fresh egg—there were very little chalk on the egg, hence it was a strange blue. That night at 2135 there was no bird in the nest and the egg was cold. At 1210 on 17 the egg was gone and no parent? (A count) was standing nearby. At 2:20 to a night of 21 a B.F. (767-40883) which had been banded was nest #9 or right. If it as a roosting bird by its flying immature was piling on a new nest at 1 foot egg 15 ft from Nest 1. A B.F. (B2) was feeding next to 9 and an immature was again roosting some yards away. The nest was not present as far back as 2130 on 19 when I went through clicking the nests. Hence, for that own reason, original and 9 with it. Old egg was deserted, egg probably eaten by numerous turkeys in the area. Then either fell second egg a quickly dropped it; a new nest was built and she deposited a new egg sometimes between 2130 18 and 2020 21. The B had very, portal nearby and the immature which hanged with them is probably their last offspring. 1468. One more nest discovered NE of the last marked nest on E-S.E point. I found this nest earlier with 2 egg, but could find at the day I marked nest. Still has Two Egg Today. Rd Brown Blue-fac gxed Bosley McKean Island 19 Oct. Passed by a large club on spit at N end of lagoon at night + male’s following count: 146 birds; not a painted bird was noted, but noticed about 40 birds which had variable spotting on back or rump. Club split about this time and if evenly distributed, they could have been as many as 75-80 of there if evenly distributed through- out the group. A good look at the remaining 30-40 birds showed only about one bird in 10 or so which was banded. Yes, in fly for the largest club noted. A few small clubs of c. 20-30 birds, not started or left but in the lagoon, but olled into nests and percentages of egg groups, when birds are disturbed about the lagoon they invariably wind up out or as if the island in the lagoon.
