Talk:Lisianski Island

Deleted picture
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)

bird killing tree (Pisonia) on island?
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.
