The Dovekie, AZZe alle, as a Spring Migrant in Eastern Lancaster Sound and Western Baffin Bay
ABSTRACT. The distribution and numbers of dovekies during spring migration were studied by aerial surveys of eastern Lancaster Sound (1976,1978,1979) and western Baffin Bay (1978,1979). Dovekies that nest in northwest Greenland migrated north through the study area during May. Extrapolations of reco...
