shows tKat cluh birds diffe not only less likely to be recaptured but are more 
likely to be found on another island. The small number which were found 
nesting would indicate that there is a large proportion of sexually immature 
birds in the population. The fact that none of the club birds were found 
nesting on Enderbury probably indicates that all full adult birds in the 
club are from other islands.
