Eiary Terns were encountered rather frequently roosting in the Scaevola at 
night. The population estimate is essentially aguess derived from individual 
estimates ranging from 75-700. Everyone agreed on as much as or as little 
as 350 for the figure but it must be considered a guess. 
ho eggs or chicks were seen in the course of the survey of the islad. 
Ro effort was made to band this species although birds encountered were 
examined for bands. One recaptured bird was not listed in the band listing, 
and the other was listed as no record, banded on Lisianski.
