Deleted picture[edit]

This picture of Lisianski Island is the second inaccurate picture I have deleted from its source site. It does claim to be of Lisianski, but it is really of Necker Island. I hope this clears up any possible confusion. I will try to add this picture to Necker's page, though I'll have to find out how. SeanMD80 03:44, 5 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Assessment comment[edit]

The comment(s) below were originally left at Talk:Lisianski Island/Comments, and are posted here for posterity. Following several discussions in past years, these subpages are now deprecated. The comments may be irrelevant or outdated; if so, please feel free to remove this section.

Needs to be divided into sections. We can go much more in-depth about the islands discovery and the subsequent voyages to it by explorers afterwards. Also, in the history section we can add info about the rabbits that were introduced here from Laysan, and the Japanese bird poachers that came here circa 1904. Also an ecology section needs to be added, with all the relevant bird species that nest here and the like. SeanMD80^{talk | contribs} 17:09, 21 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

bird killing tree (Pisonia) on island?[edit]

An article from the Washington Post, Health & Science section, by Jason Bittel, April 1, 2017, "This tree lures birds with a free lunch and then kills them", says that the bird catching/killing tree Pisonia has established a dense thicket about 100 feet wide on Lisianski Island, but I can find no other references to this tree on this island, nor can I see any such thicket in pictures of the island. The WP article does indicate that birds love the tree, with boobies & terns nesting in it. The tree apparently kills birds by having such sticky, hooked seeds that a bird can become weighted down by them & unable to fly. Those which survive then transport the seeds to other islands. On the other hand, the article says that habitat managers with the Pacific Remote Islands Marine National Monument actually work to encourage Pisonia groves, which create prime nesting habitats for red-footed boobies, frigate birds and black noddies.
