Anderson (2002) noted that no pre-historic faunal extinctions have been recorded yet for the Phoenix Islands. Neilson (2002) noted that a bird species may be at different stages of the breeding cycle depending on which island it was on. During the June/July 2002 expedition, Sterna lunata on Abariringa (Kanton) and Rawaki were incubating eggs, while on Orona, nests contained large eggs. In 2002, birds were identified and counted in Abariringa, Birnie, Manra, McKean, Nikumaroro, Orona, and Rawaki (Bukaireiti and Rabaua 2002). Results of these counts are provided in Table III-3.21.
