This report presents the results of a shipboard seabird census project in the Western Aleutian Islands Gareloi to Attu. Three variations of the transect count method were used, and he best one was determined. Estimates of near shore and Pelagic seabird densities are presented for 39 areal and temporal categories. The most abundant seabird was the Least Auklet, followed by in order of mean density: Crested Auklet, Forktailed Storm Petrel, Redfaced Cormorant, Whiskered Auklet, Northern Fulmar, Sooty Shearwater, Tufted Puffin, Blacklegged Kittiwake, and Glaucouswinged Gull.

Summary

Description

As d2 legislation moves through Congress, the Refuges and Resource Planning Divisions of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service office in Anchorage work to prepare for the initial phases of operation of the potential new Alaskan wildlife refuges. As part of the Resource Planning Team, I spent several weeks gathering written material about the Bristol Bay area in general and the Bristol Bay Borough in particular. After this initial familiarization, I spent 3 weeks in King Salmon and Naknek to interview local residents and physically investigate the local environment. Discussed are physiography, hydrology, climate, flora, fauna, plants, birds, mammals, fish, vegetation, soils, and local human development and uses. Economic, community infrastructure, and transportation needs are also discussed.

Summary

Description

Observations of black legged kittiwake distribution, behavior, nesting, and mortality. Population estimates derived from photographs were judged unsatisfactory due mainly to configuration of the rookery.

Summary

Description

Cape Peirce, Alaska, was the site of a nesting seabird study from June 16 to August 20, 1988. Three species of nesting seabirds Blacklegged Kittiwakes, Common Murres, and Pelagic Cormorants were monitored to determine population trends and productivity. This study was part of an ongoing monitoring program of nesting seabirds on the Togiak National Wildlife Refuge. From 1984 onward, the assistance of volunteers has been utilized to monitor the population and productivity of these species. The collection of these data provide information needed to track fluctuations in productivity and how these fluctuations affect population trends. The objectives of this monitoring effort were to estimate productivity and populations present in monitoring plots for cliff nesting seabirds in order to detect and assess changes over time.
