Seabird Concentrations in Late Summer Along the Coasts of Devon and Ellesmere Islands, N.W.T.
The presence of large concentrations of northern fulmars and black-legged kittiwakes along coasts of Devon and Ellesmere islands was documented in 1976 and 1978 by aerial surveys. Fulmars were present along these coasts from late July until mid-September, with peaks in late August and early Septembe...
