155J — 
July 24 -- Turnstone: flock of five 
July 29 - RTTB chick under tank left today. Sooties extend about 60 fee* 
less down road now than at our arrival. I 
Noddy Tern — I estimate 400-500 present in daytime. About twenty 
eggs and twenty chicks in various stages seen, all on sand spit. They 
are larger than Sooty Terns, with thicker legs, longer claws (?), heavier 
bill with concave curved lower mandible. They do not hold wings above 
back when alighting, but shake them — three times and quickly close. 
Sooty does not shake wings. 
July 31 — Flock of eight Turnstones on road 7 p«m. Also one plover. 
August 1 — Flock of ten Turnstone seen — 10 a.m. One Bristle-thighed 
Curlew seen— 500 p.rn. Two plover seen 7 p*m. 
August 12— Left' Sand l8l5, MATS from Johnston 2130. Arrived in Honolulu 
0015 August 13.
