Hawaiian Noddy Tern 
Hawaiian Noddy Terns were seen entirely around the atolls ©f 
Majuro, Kwajalein and Eniwetok. These birds were always seen within 
one day of the island, and most of the time much closer. Their greatest 
density was on the 13th ®f June when we were nearing Kwajalein. These 
birds also seem to be another major species in this group of atolls 
and islands. 
Fairy Terns 
Fairy Terns were distributed fairly evenly throughout the whole 
trip. Their greatest density was around the islands, but they were 
also seen at sea. Their greatest density was around Majuro in which 
60 and 6l individuals were seen on the 9th and 10th of June respectively. 
The next densest population was seen around Eniwetok on the 23rd of 
June. These birds seem to constitute another large proportion of the 
birds found on these atolls. 
\ 
When in this area, caution must be used to keep from confusing 
this species with the Black-naped Tern. At a distance, the black nape 
of the Black-naped Tern does not show up. The calls between the 
Black-naped Tern and the Fairy Tern are very distinct.
