February 29 - lumbers 14 and 1 6 (new) sitting together cm top of 
hill above Brown Boobies in mid-afternoon. One present under concrete 
slab 7 p.tu. , one flying around slope, one seen flying in from middle of 
causeway. 
March 5 - Four under concrete slab 1100. 
March 14 - Six by concrete slab, two unbanded. Have also noticed 
that of two pair occupying the site up to now. Two have been under the 
slab and two outside for the past few nights, perhaps in preparation for 
egg-laying . 
March 25 - A pair had been present under the slab on the north 
shore during the day fen- one to two days but were discouraged by high 
tides. 
March 29 - First eggs - one under concrete slab on east shore, one 
under plywood. Binion said he saw pairs sitting outside each location 
late last night. Banded one bird by slab on north beach; at least two 
more unbanded on island. 
March 50 - Probably another egg under the concrete slab on the east 
shore, but the bird is too far bach to reach. 
April 12 - High tides have apparently destroyed two eggs under the 
concrete slab on theagt shore of the peninsula.
