(Rept); Nested only at the perimeter of the vegetation. 
Nests xti.th eggs, very young chicks, and two chicks at 
least one month old. Estimated 750-1000 adults on the

(WOW) 15 1 noted quite a few blue-faced nests around the 
perimeter of the vegetation* and most has 2 eggs* 
though a few had recently hatched chicks. There are many 
non-nesting blue-faced around also.

(TOW) "Vin found several blue-faced booby nests with 
chicks.We have gotton a great many returns from our 
booby work here, and Rog is keeoing track of pairs to 
compare with the data I collected on nesting pairs in 
March of 1963. SPECIES SUMMARY: 500-600 adults on island, 
many nests eggs and very small shicks. 
Mar. 12,*65 
(D.L.S.); "I saw blue-faced boobies on eggs and a few 
chicks. The oldest chick was UO-50 days and one I saw 
was only a day or so old. Roger Clapp and I banded and 
painted red Blue-faced boobies. We banded 130 and collected 
10lj. returns. We at most oily caught 1/3 of the birds on 
the beach....we saw a club with 100 birds in it sitting 
on the beach. The population is over 1000 birds on the is¬ 
land. We kept track of the pairs roosting and nesting 
togetherand if on a nest whether they had chick or eggs. 
Many of the mates we found on nests had consecutuve band 
numbers, am assuming they were mated when banded.
