Between 24 and 27 March 1978, 61 members of the Ornithological Society of New Zealand counted birds on and near Kaipara Harbour. Results are listed and tabulated. The northward migration of Arctic waders is noted. Unusual birds recorded for this area were grey plover (Pluvialis squatarola), large sand dotterel (Charadrius leschenaulti), black stilt (Himantopus novaezealandiae), black-fronted tern (Chlidonias albostriatus), and fairy tern (Sterna nereis).
