BBOWN NODDY —Annotated List ---------------- 
LSff 21 - Aug.-Sept. T 67 (KBC botes) (Cont.) 
Sept.2 : Non-breeding Brown Noddies are commonly found 
m two situations on the island; either in small roosting 
groups of from about 10 to £0 birds on the beaches, 
particularly those of the west and north sides of the island 
and roosting individually near and somewhat in from the 
beach crest (particularly on the scuth, west, and north 
sides of the islands). Others may also be found roosting 
in scatterred patches of low Scaevola in the interior. 
The solitary roosting individuals were found in the 
same places as large young were found but so many of these 
individual roosting birds were seen that it seems a fore 
gone conclusion that at least a fairly large proportion of 
O them were non-breeding birds. These individuals were 
either found roosting in low Scaevola or on the ground 
often beneath thick clumps of Eragrostis, often so thick 
that the birds would not be seen until they flushed*,

I saw very few Brown Noddies, either by day or by night and found no 
evidence of nesting* Kenyon reported a small colony with $ or 6 eggs in 
the north-central portion of the island near a frigatebird colony.
