1965 — — Thompson - "Doug (Hackman) says breeding 
Blue-faced booby populationsa are way down. The survey 
turned up 800-1000 which is probably exaggerated. The 
east side of the island had 3—4 small clubs which 
(Paul) Woodward banded in the evening. I believe he 
banded 152 in one evening and got 179 returns. There 
were 73 nests and 64 nests with chicks. A grand total 
of 152 were banded. " "10 blue faced Booby (blood 
smaples were taken. "

Feb. 1, 1965 ---- Hackman recheck -- "(Species Account) In the 
evening only three small clubs assembled on the 
island, all on the windward shore. No clubs assembled 
in the island interior. There was no large evening 
flight onto the island as has been observed on previous 
trips -- birds arrived in singles and pairs."
