As had been noted on a number of previous trips, the curlews were most 
abundant along the northern perimeter of the island, although scattered 
individuals and small groups were found along much of the island perimeter# 
The three largest flocks seen by me contained respectively 6, 21, and 11 
curlews• The first two flocks were seen in the open Scaevola-Bragrostis 
association on the dunes at the northwest corner of the island and the 
third was seen on the southwest beach. ‘ 
Eight curlews were banded by the survey party with bands supplied by 
the Fish and Wildlife Service and three returns were obtained, all of 
which had been banded on Lisianski last September by the POBSP*
