feathered, two (one near building; one along southwest and with adult) 
were small, covered with down and with only the shortest rudiments of 
remyis. Two unbanded young were found dead. Two adults were captured 
with their young (one unbanded; one 655-20019 with the very small young 
along southwest beach). In addition two unbanded adults were captured 
with no.-egg or young in evidence. The adult with young in southwest

area regurgitated the posterior ^ inches of a "herring type fish" about

2 inches thick at the pectoral area - no head ca* dorsal fin present. In 
all I handled fifty birds and didn't have any bands with me. I’m sure 
most of these birds will fledge within a month. 
Sooty Tern - One adult heard and seen over island shortly after 
arrival. Later Baw and heard two adults over antenna field. Found 
remaining of several - long dead and no bands. Captured an immature 
that had on injured left wing which had apparently healed. The bird 
was lively but couldn't fly. It was unbanded and thin but in good 
plumage. The white edges of the feathers were almost completely gone 
but there was ho evidence of molt to adult pattern. A second immature 
was observed in flight at very close range near the restricted area on 
the south port of the island. It was flying normally. White edges to 
some feathers could be clearly seen. 
Common Roddy - Saw a few birds overhead and along the beach at 
Intervals. Later saw twenty birds on sand bar at southwest part of 
island. Rear antenna field captured an immature in excellent plumage 
but with an injured wing. The bird was thin, active but could not fly. 
Parallel of the Sooty mentioned above.
