These field notes respond to the need for more knowledge about colonial seabirds, a neglected segment of Alaskas natural resources. Refuges, research and what was then river basins studies provided personnel and resources. The vessel used was the 65foot Aleutian Tern, a refuge vessel, enroute to its summer station in the Aleutian Islands. The crew consisted of George Putney, masterengineer; Chris Anderson, cookdeckhand; George Divoky, wildlife biologist Research; and the author, Ed Bailey, from the Aleutian Islands National Wildlife Refuge, joined the group at Sand Point on June 8.
