Conley revealed that fairy terns are scarce enough around here to attract 
attention when they do appear. She has never seen more than 6 .

Located 6 plovers, 8 turnstones, 1 tattler on lagoon flats. First shorebirds 
I have seen. Watched terns, boobies and frigates feeding about 2 miles offshore. 
They were especially active when some large fish (tuna?) drove a school of 
baitfish to the surface.
