Widely scattered on Scaevola, both roosting and nesting. Perhaps 1,000 birds 
were on the island at night. Very few nests were found with eggs. 
(RBC summ) 500-750 birds pre-^nt. Many birds were sitting 
on their nests but very few had laid as yet. A number (not le^s than 5 or 6) 
of subadult and immature birds were seen. 
(RBC-Mar„l4-) A single immature Red-foot seen. It had a tan 
iris, bill with a lavender base, a dark tip to its bill, the neck light 
brown, and f 0 back-wings, and tail were mottled brown. 
(DLS summ) Hoeman found one egg. Adult males with nests and 
sky calling — platforms built but no eggs. They nested and roosted in small 
groups all around the island in Scaevola . I would guess there are 2,000 
on the island and probably mere.
