CANTON ISLAND 
This island was worked only during the daylight hours on February 17 
because of the full moon. A large colony of Gray-backed Terns, estimated 
to contain 5,000 nests, was located on the island. Approximately 100 
Sooty Tern nests were sprinkled about in the Gray-backed Tern colony. 
A colony of Wedge-tailed Shearwaters, estimated to contain 100 burrows 
was discovered and 13 "adults and 1 nestling were banded. This constitutes 
a new project breeding and banding record for this island.
