Notes
Park Species Detail: O'Connor & Rauzon found pairs nesting along the crest of Pola'uta Ridge and on the Pola Islet (both in NPSA) in trees. Rauzon counted about 300 birds in 2003. Amerson et al. encountered birds on Pola Islet in 1986, with three main groups or subcolonies perched in trees along the upper cliffs in the steepest and most inaccessible portions. The birds were evidently nesting., Park Species Data Source: NATUREBIB-601628, O'Connor & Rauzon 2004; NATUREBIB-3284, Engbring & Ramsey 1989
