Birds were more numerous in the interior than plover with small flocks on 
beach also. (RBC summ) b00-500 on island. 100*150 offshore. Found all over 
island and at night roosting in some numbers under the Scaevola bushes along 
the beach shore. (DLS summ) There were from 1 to 2 thousand. ¥e saw 
large flocks flying around over the island with at least 200 birds in one flock. 
The birds were found during the day scattered through out the island 
feeding. They were seen feeding on the carcasses of dead birds and on 
brfeken eggs. (RBC notes (Aug.lb, 1967) There was a good deal of controversy 
between survey party members on the species composition of large flocks 
seen offshore. ¥ritx maintained that they were turnstones but the large 
flocks that I examined were mostly plovers.
