away the birds. which now show al
most human characteristics in well
coming the pioneers to the island they
alone inhabited heretofore.
The red-tailed tropic bird, he SAYS
demonstrates remarkable perserver-
ance in flying backward and little in
terest in anything else. Scientists
have not explained its "reverseness. ~
The ghostly howls of several other
species, camping regularly outside the
colonists' tents, continue nightly.
1T sounds as If you were out In
some haunted graveyard" said Beck.

you have heard it."
Piracy is a we'll defined occupation
in Wakes densely populated bird CEN
ter.
Frigate birds, known to navigators
throughout the Pacific, are the buc.
cancers of the air. They swoop around
other birds emerging with fish from
the ocean. The frigates then scar,
the smaller species and seize the FISH

Scientists say the frigate turned
