Kilaueo Point, Kauai 
portions of the point where there is sufficient substrate for burrowing. The 
Wedgetaile 
determined. In addition, there should be sufficient cliff holes to support a 
s ma ll Bulwer's Petrel population. This should be looked for in April. There 
is no Tarn activity on the point or the island. The island plays host to 
population 
breeding inclination. Perhaps 
there will be. In the past year two Sooty Storm Petrels have been recovered 
4 
on the point, probably just visitors, although there is the slight possibility 
of a very limited breeding population. This too should be looked into. 
I The point offers an excellent opportunity to observe and set up studies 
on Red-footed Boobies and Wedge-tailed Shearwaters due to its great accessibility, 
Newell's Shearwaters burrows can be found on Kauai with diligence. In 
October each year young Newell's run down all over the island suffering from 
weakness due to emaciation. Jerry Swedberg, Hawaii Fish and Ghrae Representative 
on Kauai, a valuable man to contact for help of any uorfc, has picked up cartons 
« 
full of these weakened birds.' He suggested three likely locations} the Hoary 
Herd range, the Sleeping Giant and Awefceraanu, a bay along the practically in- 
accessible Halfeli Coast. With manpower and sufficient hours Newell's 
burrows can be found. The island offers limited possibilities for seabird 
work but its one or two opportunities should not be overlocked since they are 
unique. A trip each month for 2 or 3 days by at least one person is recommended.
