Collected; Sooty Tern (l) and checked for parasites (vial 5)* 
Noted: An adult Frigatebird Bwoc^ed down on an xmattended nest (no. l6) in 
the Frigatebird nesting area, and destroyed an egg. He made a second pass at 
the egg and appeared, to be "gulfing" it upj which fostered the in^iression that 
his objective was purely predatory. Hereafter not only will tiie nests be marked but 
also the eggs for they tend to move around quite a bit. 
Banding operations were carried out in the early evening hours before the moon
