Description
Summary:ABSTRACT: Observations of birds and mammals at Bluenose Lake. The birds and mammals observed during a biological exploration of Bluenose Lake, centred at 68"28'N., 119"45'W., are described. Thirty-five species of birds were seen, many of which were breeding, and many of which constitute range extensions. Eleven species of mammals were identified, A lack of variability in the habitat, for birds in particular, is probably the chief factor limiting the number of species. RÉSUMÉ. Observations sur les oiseaux et les mammifères du lac Bluenose. On décrit les oiseaux et mammifères observés au cours d'une exploration biologique du lac Bluenose, par 68"28'N et 119'45'W. On a vu trente-cinq espèces d'oiseaux, dont beaucoup étaient en train de couver et dont nombre constituent des extensions de leur domaine connu. On a identifié onze espèces de mammifères. Un manque de variabilité dans l'habitat est probablement le principal facteur qui limite le nombre des espèces, surtout d'oiseaux. PE3IOME. IIrnuqbl u mJzexonumloque e paüoxe osepa E~zwxoys.
