S. Fish and Wildlife Service to supply scientific information and methodologies on key environmental issues that impact fish and wildlife resources and their supporting ecosystems. The mission of the program is as follows: • To strengthen the Fish and Wildlife Service in its role as a primary source of information on national fish and wildlife resources, particularly in respect to environmental impact assessment. To gather, analyze, and present information that will aid decisionmakers in the identification and resolution of problems associated with major changes in land and water use. • To provide better ecological information and evaluation for Department of the Interior development programs, such as those relating to energy development. Information developed by the Biological Services Program is intended for use in the planning and decisionmaking process to prevent or minimize the impact of development on fish and wildlife. Research activities and technical assistance services are based on an analysis of the issues, a determination of the decisionmakers involved and their information needs, and an evaluation of the state of the art to identify information gaps and to determine priorities. This is a strategy that will ensure that the products produced and disseminated are timely and useful. Projects have been initiated in the following areas: coal extraction and conversion; power plants; geothermal, mineral and oil Shale development; water resource analysis, including stream alterations and western water allocation; coastal ecosystems and Outer Continental Shelf development; and systems inventory, including National Wetland Inventory, habitat classification and analysis, and information transfer. The Biological Services Program consists of the Office of Biological Services in Washington, D.C., which is responsible for over- all planning and management; National Teams, which provide the Program's central scientific and technical expertise and arrange for contracting biological services studies with states, universities, consulting firms, and others; Regional Staff, who provide a link to pro- blems at the operating level; and staff at certain Fish and Wildlife Service research facilities, who conduct inhouse research studies.

Scientific names of birds and mammals mentioned in the text. g vi This catalog is a summary of data on the location, size, and species composition of Seabird colonies along the Alaskan coast. Its main purpose is two-fold. First, it provides the best information presently available as a basis for land and resource management decisions affect- ting seabirds and their terrestrial habitats. Second, it Seeks to identify gaps in our knowledge of seabird popu- lations and to foster the collection of new information in order to fill these gaps. Because of the vulnerability of marine birds to oil pollution, their recreational, scientific, and economic values, and wide public concern for their welfare, better information on their distribution and abundance in Alaska has become increasingly important. In addition to the wide diversity of marine birds breeding in Alaska, their numbers may equal or exceed the total of seabirds in the remainder of the northern hemisphere. It is appropriate that public attention has focused on the threat to seabirds posed by oil development, but this is by no means the only major problem with which these birds are confronted. A variety of other problems, in- cluding fisheries and mineral developments, toxic chemical pollution, increased disturbance by man, and introduced or expanded populations of predators have been reviewed recently by Sowl and Bartonek (1974) and Nettleship (1977). Primary funding for the preparation of this catalog was provided by the Outer Continental Shelf Environ- mental Assessment Program, administered by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration for the Bureau of Land Management. The U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service views the project as ongoing, and this document as only an important initial step. The catalog is a Summary of available population data for each breeding site identified and provides a base from which this vital information can be added to, upgraded, or corrected. It has been bound in a loose leaf format so that individual maps and tables can be revised and re- placed as warranted by the accumulation of new data. We hope and anticipate that our effort will accelerate the accumulation of new information by encouraging interested observers to tell us what they know about Alaskan seabird colonies and to collect and record colony data systematically in the future. INTRODUCTION The Anchorage office of the Fish and Wildlife Service maintains a file on each seabird colony identified in the catalog. These files, open to all who wish to use them, contain detailed maps, photographs, reports, notes on habitat characteristics and marine mammals, and other available information. Forms for recording and submit- ting additional information on colonies are available upon request. No systematic program for censusing seabird colonies has been carried out along most of the Alaskan coast. The information presented in the catalog is compiled from more than 100 sources, including published and unpublished literature and communications from amateur Ornithologists, professional biologists, and lay- men. Most of this information was accumulated in the last 5 years. Older accounts have generally proved to be too nonspecific and therefore have been used infrequent- ly and only where more recent information is entirely lacking. The user of this information must recognize that it varies greatly in quality, precision of estimates, and geographic coverage. Although standard techniques for censusing seabirds at colonies have recently been devised (e.g. Nettleship 1976), the Alaskan coast is so vast and remote and its seabird populations so great that only in few instances have such refinements been practicable. The colony catalog identifies some 1,002 sites at which seabirds congregate to breed, but intensive studies, in- cluding detailed censusing, have been carried out only at about 30. The remainder of the data come from brief Surveys, often conducted by boat or airplane, and are subject to potentially large errors of two general types. First, and probably most important, the numbers of sea- birds at colonies vary greatly with time of day, weather, stage in the nesting cycle, and perhaps the level of repro- ductive effort in a given year. Thus, the number of birds or nests present in a colony during one brief observation represents an undetermined fraction of the actual popu- lation. From this standpoint, and to the extent that observers have accurately determined numbers of birds or nests actually present, population figures given here may be considered to be minimal. The second type of error, as just implied, involves the ability of different individuals to accurately and quickly assess large numbers of birds. Populations at Alaskan seabird colonies are often overwhelmingly large, and experience has shown that different observers confront- ed with the same problem in estimation may arrive at widely divergent figures. Thus, it is possible that popula- tions at Some colonies may be greatly overestimated. There seems to be no universal bias in one direction or the other, however, and errors of this type are probably fairly well balanced in the totals for larger regions. The data presented here will be useful in identifying the locations and relative importance of key areas for breeding seabirds, insofar as these are presently known. The catalog has been organized to present information both on individual colony sites and on individual species. Thus, it can be used to predict the impact of environ- mental changes, but will be of little use in monitoring these changes unless they are very large, and we wish specifically to warn against such application. When the quality of information on individual colonies is upgraded in the future, many large discrepancies in population estimates are bound to emerge. In most instances, these discrepancies could not be attributed safely to actual population changes. Furthermore, a lack of data in a particular area should not be construed as an absence of birds, because the present state of knowledge is such that colonies of hundreds of thousands of birds, particu- larly of the nocturnal species, probably await discovery or adequate population assessment. We believe the catalog will be of considerable scien- tific value, especially in the fields of zoogeography and ecological modeling. Analysis of the distribution and abundance of breeding seabirds in relation to other aspects of physical and biological oceanography current- ly receiving attention in Alaska will be of particular inter- est. In recent years, ecologists have expressed increasing interest in defining the role of birds in the structure and functioning of the marine ecosystem. The successful application of ecosystem models relies, however, upon the availability of quantitative measures of their biologi- cal components. In recognition of this need, we have attempted to provide a realistic estimate of the total population of each species in Alaska. In nearly every case, these population estimates differ substantially from the catalog totals, which are clearly unrealistic since they make no allowance for colonies not yet discovered, those for which we have no popula- tion estimates, the reliability of available population data, or the contingent of immature birds which do not visit land in summer. Although these estimates involve a large measure of subjectivity on our part, we believe they come much closer to the true population figure and should be used in preference to catalog totals whenever figures for total statewide populations are desired. Al- though we may have erred on the high side in Some cases, most population figures given are probably fairly conservative. lf interested observers are incited to dem- onstrate how ridiculously low (or high) Some of our estimates are, perhaps simply on the basis of a thorough knowledge of the abundance of birds in their area, then the estimates will have served another purpose. Along with adding and refining population estimates, an important goal of further work should be to more uniformly define the breeding areas identified by colony numbers in this catalog. The assignment of colony num- bers was based largely on convenience or dictated by the nature of the data at hand, and some inconsistency was unavoidable. For example, all the birds on St. George Island of the Pribilofs are regarded as comprising one colony, although a number of so-called colonies could undoubtedly be delineated which are no less distinct than the several recognized on St. Matthew Island, an area of comparable size. As the resolution of the data increases, so will the possibility for uniformity of treat- IIlent. Some measure of subjectivity, however, always enters work with multispecies colonies. Indeed, one realizes from even a cursory review of the literature on seabirds that the concept of a “colony” is ill-defined and variously applied. Depending on the context of discussion, the term may refer to a single species among several sharing the same nesting area or to the aggregate of birds of all species. This, combined with varying degrees of overlap in distribution and habitat use, results in a thoroughly ambiguous situation in many cases. Some workers are inclined to regard even slight discontinuities in the nest- ing distribution of a species as the basis for splitting a given breeding area into many separate entities. At the other extreme, it is convenient, and perhaps more eco- logically meaningful, to speak of total populations of island groups such as the Semidi, Pribilof, or Barren Islands as more or less integral units. Since the organi- zation of data in this catalog has necessarily been somewhat arbitrary, the reader will appreciate that it is permissible to speak about the total number of colonies of a species or make comparisons among species only in the most general sense. - The breeding sites identified in the catalog are usually inhabited by several species, each of which occupies a pre- ferred nesting habitat, as illustrated in the schematic drawing at right. The bulk of the data are presented in the form of Maps and Tables showing the species com- position and populations of all seabirds on a site-specific basis. In the following pages, however, we wish to give a brief account of the world distribution and general habits of individual species, and to draw attention to the main features of their distribution and population status in Alaska. A complete list of all known breeding sites and population data for each species is provided in Appendix A. Some species listed occasionally in the Tables will not be considered in any further detail. The Dovekie, a Small auk that breeds in large numbers in the North Atlantic, is observed occasionally near islands in Bering Strait. There are no confirmed nesting records, however, and the species may be only a vagrant in Alaska. Eagles, falcons, jaegers, eiders and other waterfowl, and Black Oystercatcher are present at many colonies identified in this catalog but are either usually noncolonial or not strictly associated with the marine environment. Data on these species included in the Tables are intended only to Supplement information available elsewhere on their distribution in Alaska.

The species breeds throughout the temperate and far northern Atlantic (from northern France and the British Isles to Arctic and eastern Canada), while its Pacific range en- compasses the Kurile, Commander, and Aleutian Islands, as well as islands of the Bering Sea and Gulf of Alaska. Color phases vary from a dark bluish-gray to a predom- inantly white, gull-like plumage. In the North Pacific, the lighter phase birds predominate at colonies in the Bering Sea and the darker phase birds at more southerly colonies. Fulmars are a cliff-nesting species with a predilection for islands and cliffs of the highest and most forbidding sort. They usually occur in association with large colo- nies of other cliff-nesting birds, such as murres and kittiwakes, but generally nest only in the upper, vege- tated portions of cliffs. The foraging range of fulmars from breeding colonies may be several hundred kilo- meters. They feed at the surface on squid, crustaceans, and small fish and are prodigious scavengers on offal produced by fish-processing vessels. They may forage largely at night. Among Alaskan seabirds, fulmars are the extreme example of a general evolutionary trend in pelagic birds toward long life and a low reproductive rate. It is probable that some individuals of this species live 50 years or longer. Alaskan Population A total of about 1.5 million Northern Fulmars and 30 breeding stations are recorded in the catalog. However, unlike other Alaskan seabirds with a more homogeneous distribution of breeding populations, almost the entire population of this species (more than 99 percent) is con- centrated at four major breeding grounds. These are, in probable order of population size, the Semidi Islands (Map 031), St. Matthew and Hall Islands (Map 056), Chagulak Island (020 002), and the Pribilof Islands (Map 038). Several smaller colonies are located in the Aleutians and Gulf of Alaska, and a few may yet be dis- covered. It is unlikely, however, that any major colonies are still unknown. A considerable population of pre- breeders remains at sea during the breeding season and colony estimates are probably conservative. Therefore, we believe that the entire Alaskan population consists of about 2 million birds. Given the restricted breeding distribution of Northern Fulmars in Alaska a single catastrophy, such as an oil spill, at or near a major colony could cause a severe reduction in the population, but the long-term outlook for this species is that its population probably will increase.

They normally feed at the water's surface on Small crustaceans and other plankton, but are also attracted to drifting carcasses of whales and offal from offshore fishing vessels. Fork-tailed Storm Petrels breed from the Kurile Islands through the Aleutians, the Gulf of Alaska, and South to northern California. They appear to be oppor- tunistic in their choice of nesting sites, either digging burrows where soil is deep enough or occupying natural cavities of suitable proportions. They occasionally use unoccupied burrows of other species. Storm petrels are nocturnal on land and, since they commonly nest in talus, the presence of even a large population may go unnoticed unless nighttime obser- vations are made. The nocturnal habit of petrels at colonies is an adaption that reduces their susceptibility to avian predators, particularly gulls. At Sea, Storm petrels are frequently attracted at night to lights on ships and occasionally alight on the decks where they are easily captured. Alaskan Population The abundance of storm petrels in Alaska is poorly known. Nests are difficult to detect, especially in talus, and since birds enter and leave the colonies at night, it is likely that many colonies are still unknown. The cata- log lists 60 known colonies of Fork-tailed Storm Petrels, but population estimates are available for only 11. These 11 colonies contain an estimated 1,148,500 birds. Several of the remaining colonies are known to be “large” and many colonies are undoubtedly still undiscovered. We speculate that the total Alaskan population may be about 5 million birds. The largest known colony in Alaska is at Buldir Island (014 001) where there are an estimated 540,000 breed- ing birds. The population associated with Buldir may actually be much larger than this, because nonbreeding birds are not considered in this estimate. The populations of East Amatuli Island (043 010) and Amagat Island (025 014) are crudely estimated at 300,000 and 200,000 birds, respectively. Petrel lsland (001 001) has an estimated 88,700 birds. Other colonies of known size are much smaller. The smallest colony for which popu- lation size is known is one of 300 birds at Hall Island (027 004). New colonies are most likely to be found in the Aleutian Islands, and on islands along the south side of the Alaska Peninsula. It is possible that undiscovered colonies are present in Southeastern Alaska, but mam- malian predators would prevent petrels from nesting on all but the smallest offshore islands that are free from predators. Fork-tailed Storm Petrels have been seen in the northern Bering Sea and are quite common around the Pribilof Islands, but there is no evidence of nesting in the Bering Sea north of the Aleutians. - The population of petrels was undoubtedly much depleted from former levels by foxes introduced to many Alaskan islands. Islands where Fork-tailed Storm Petrels are known to have been extirpated include those in the Sanak group (Map 25), Salt Island (018 009), and llak Island (016 014). Introduced foxes have died or been removed by trapping from some of these islands, and petrels and other species may now be recolonizing former breeding grounds. Leach's Storm Petrel ( Oceanodroma leucorhoa ) § §§ º §§§ & sºr- § gºš ; rº º \\ CATALOG TOTAL 1,709,600 NUMBER OF SITES 38 ESTIMATED POPULATION 4,000,000 In the North Pacific, Leach's Storm Petrel breeds on islands of the Gulf of Alaska and Aleutian Chain, South- west to northern Japan, and southeast to Baja California. It ranges widely in winter when it is common in the waters of the central Pacific. Atlantic colonies are known from the northeasternmost seaboard of the United States north and east to Labrador, Iceland, the Faroes, and the British Isles. Leach's Storm Petrels show a general similarity in habits and ecology to Fork-tailed Storm Petrels with which they commonly occur in mixed colonies. As with the latter species, their principal food consists of a variety of zooplankton obtained at the water's surface. Incubation of the egg is shared by the parents in shifts of several days, thus their potential foraging area is vast, even during the nesting period. They also share with Fork-tailed Storm Petrels the traits of nocturnality on the breeding grounds and a high sensitivity to distur- bance; breeding birds often desert their nests if disturbed early in the nesting cycle. In contrast to Fork-tailed Storm Petrels, Leach's Storm Petrels rarely use natural cavities or crevices, pre- ferring instead to dig their own burrows wherever soil conditions are suitable. They occasionally nest in un- occupied burrows of Tufted Puffins or in side chambers of puffin burrows. There are indications that this habit may be exercised almost exclusively on some islands, making it even more difficult to locate and census colo- nies of this species. Alaskan Population Breeding colonies of Leach's Storm Petrels are distri- buted from Petrel Island (001 001) in the extreme southeastern portion of Alaska through, but not north of, the Gulf of Alaska and Aleutian Islands. Although our knowledge of numbers and sizes of colonies of this species has much improved in recent years, it is still far from complete. The catalog lists 38 colonies, but popu- lation estimates are available for only 15. Immense colonies of Leach’s Storm Petrels are found at Petrel Island (001 001) and Buldir lsland (014 001), with respective breeding populations estimated at nearly 700,000 and more than 800,000 birds. These two colo- nies comprise most of the total recorded population of 1,709,600 birds, but the present quality of information is such that colonies of similar magnitude may well exist that have not been located or adequately censused. We believe the actual population of Leach's Storm Petrels in Alaska is probably on the order of 4 million birds. Additional colonies are likely to be found through- out the species' breeding range in Alaska, but particularly on islands south of the Alaska Peninsula and in the Aleutian Islands. & a tº a . * - ſº *º. ***... º. º. ººº-ººrººs e-ºe s ׺ º t • ' . . . / º . . . . . . .

CATALOG TOTAL 213,031 NUMBER OF SITES 489 ESTIMATED POPULATION 250,000 Mixed colonies of two or three species of cormorants are common in the region covered by the catalog. Species composition is not always readily discernible on brief Surveys, especially those conducted by boat or airplane. Field observers have tended to lump all species of cormorants, thus a similar treatment is necessary here. Among the four species which occur in Alaska, the Red-faced Cormorant is apparently endemic except for breeding colonies in the Commander Islands. Brandt’s Cormorant, on the other hand, is of only questionable Status in Alaska. It is known to breed along the north- west Pacific coast from southern British Columbia to Baja California. Pelagic Cormorants breed from the Chukchi Sea South to Japan and Baja California while the Double-crested Cormorant is widely distributed in the North American interior as well as on the Pacific and Atlantic coasts of the continent. Cormorants are rarely observed farther than a few ki- lometers from land. The diets of all four species are com- posed of a variety of fish captured by diving in inshore waters. Colonies are usually situated on precipitous cliffs, although the Double-crested Cormorant shows considerable flexibility in this regard, nesting on more gradual slopes, in trees, or on flat islets. In common with several gull species, cormorants have a high repro- ductive potential compared with that of other seabirds breeding in Alaska. Clutches of three to five eggs are the rule, and renesting frequently follows failure of initial nesting attempts. Cormorants do not appear to be highly philopatric, and the locations of colonies may change from year to year. These changes of colony location have been well documented in recent years in the western Gulf of Alaska; their prevalence elsewhere in the State is less well known. The phenomenon is unique to cormorants and terns among the colonial species with which this catalog is concerned and must be recognized when future obser- vations are compared with data presently at hand. Alaskan Population The catalog provides data on 489 colonies of cormo- rants, the majority of which range in size from a few pairs to a few hundred birds. Population estimates, totaling 213,031 birds, are available for almost all colo- nies and are considered to be reasonably accurate. We believe that improved coverage in the future will result in a figure of perhaps 250,000 birds. Brandt’s Cormorants comprise only an insignificant part of the above total. The species was recorded breeding in very low numbers on Seal Rock (064 003) in 1972 but has not since been positively identified as breeding at this site or anywhere else in the State. Individuals are seen with some regularity in the Prince William Sound region, and it is possible that one or more small colonies have been overlooked. Similarly, the presence in Southeast- ern Alaska of Small numbers of breeding Brandt’s Cormorants seems likely. Our estimate, which is largely hypothetical, for the total Alaskan population is 200 to 300 birds at most, and probably less than 100. The distribution of Double-crested Cormorants in Alaska is largely restricted to the western Gulf of Alaska and Bristol Bay regions. Colonies of more than a hun- dred birds are exceptional, but have been reported at Chisik Island (062 001), the Cherni group (025 030), Shaiak Island (039 011), and Kikertalik Lake (040 011). The latter location is an instance of Double-crested Cormorants nesting on islands in freshwater lakes. Although characteristic of the species throughout its North American range, nesting in freshwater habitats appears to be of only minor importance in Alaska. The remaining two species comprise the majority of cormorants breeding in Alaska. Our estimates of total population are 130,000 Red-faced and 90,000 Pelagic Cormorants. Particularly notable among the 285 sites at which Pelagic Cormorants have been recorded are Middleton Island (048 001), with about 4,700 birds, and the Walrus Islands (Maps 039 and 040), which are used by some 11,000 Pelagic Cormorants. The center of abundance of Red-faced Cormorants in Alaska extends from the Shumagin Islands (Map 028) and Sandman Reefs (Map 025), west to the end of the Aleutian Chain. The outstanding population center of cormorants in Alaska appears to be the Near Islands (Map 13) with an estimated total of 88,000 birds, the majority of which are believed to be Red-faced Cormorants. 7 Double-crested Cormorant \ ~ CATALOG TOTAL 4,701" Phalacrocorax auritus NUMBER OF SITES 827 ESTIMATED POPULATION 7,000' f coastal population only. |----- 2 *r • 100 TT-----__ ** | $º T ~~~~~ | - ===< 24===º * 2 ~~Jº's * \ 5. &== __* Sº Š-z > * - sº *. =====º **º - 100 - Gºv \ 2a 2% tº º …' sº *::::2% Wºź. rº- # A/A (2...

The Glaucous Gull is truly an arctic species. Its world breeding range is circumpolar in the northern hemisphere, but nowhere does it extend farther south than about 59°N. Glaucous Gulls nest as scattered pairs or Small groups in close association with other species. In the latter situ- ation they play an ecologically important role as the principal predator on eggs and young of other seabirds. In this and other aspects of feeding ecology and general habits, the species displaces the Glaucous-winged Gull in northern Alaska. The breeding ranges of these two species overlap only at a few locations in the southern Bering Sea, including Nunivak Island (Map 57), Etolin Strait (Map 54), and possibly also the Walrus Islands (Map 39) and the Pribilofs (Map 38). Alaskan Population The center of abundance of Glaucous Gulls in Alaska appears to encompass the Yukon Delta, northern Bering Sea, Bering Strait, and Southern Chukchi Sea. Farther east along the Arctic Coast their numbers dwindle markedly. Most of the “colonies” reported from the Beaufort Sea coast consist of one or two pairs of Glau- cous Gulls nesting on barrier islands. Even within more populated regions, this species generally occurs in low numbers. For example, the recorded total for 21 breed- ing areas in Norton Sound is only 1,130 birds. Statewide, 74 of the 89 sites for which population estimates are available contain less than 100 birds. The largest concentration of Glaucous Gulls thus far reported occurs at St. Matthew and Hall Islands (Map 56) where a total of nearly 2,000 birds was recorded during a 1977 survey. This figure probably represents less than half of the actual population of these islands. The most significant gap in present information is prob- ably St. Lawrence Island (Map 93) where the Glaucous Gull is a common breeder whose population has not been estimated. . Altogether, the catalog records a total of fewer than 6,000 Glaucous Gulls distributed among 115 sites. How- ever, a suspected general underestimation of populations at larger colonies and inadequate coverage of lower density areas along lagoons and inland lakes near the Bering and Chukchi coasts suggest that the total Alaskan population may be closer to 30,000 birds. This estimate is substantiated by post-breeding season aerial surveys conducted by the Fish and Wildlife Service from the mouth of the Kuskokwim River to Point Barrow. 10 Glaucous-winged Gull (Larus glaucescens) 163,595 CATALOG TOTAL 229,022 NUMBER OF SITES 547 ESTIMATED POPULATION 500,000 Because of their preference for nearshore habitats and for human settlements and associated artificial food supplies, Glaucous-winged Gulls are probably the most familiar of Alaskan seabirds to most persons. The species breeds ubiquitously from the Commander lslands (U.S.S.R.) and islands of the southern Bering Sea, south to northwestern Washington. In the southern portion of its range, including several sites in Alaska, this species is known to hybridize with Herring Gulls. Glaucous-winged Gulls are omnivorous and highly opportunistic in their food habits. The diet includes a variety of intertidal prey such as crabs, limpets, and Sea urchins, as well as fish, garbage, Offal, spent salmon in spawning streams, and occasionally, insects or Small mammals. In addition, and very importantly, Glaucous- winged Gulls are the principal predator on eggs and young of other species at most seabird colonies within their range. They also prey on adult birds of the Smaller species. Human disturbance at seabird colonies frequently increases the loss of eggs and chicks to gulls. Nesting occurs on Sandbar islands, the flat tops of more rugged islands, and along beaches. These gulls also nest on cliffs which are inaccessible to rºam malian pre- dators. Nests are a grass-lined scrape; three eggs are generally laid per clutch. Alaskan Population The catalog presently records a total of some 229,022 Glaucous-winged Gulls at 547 sites in Alaska. We believe the actual statewide population is probably closer to 500,000 birds. Gulls generally comprise only a minor part of seabird populations at large, multispecies colo- nies, typically only a few tenths of one percent. Allowing for some discrepancies in the inclusiveness of breeding areas recognized in the catalog, the distribu- tion of sizes of Glaucous-winged Gull colonies in Alaska is approximately the following. Eight percent are of unknown size, 40 percent have fewer than 100 birds, 40 percent are estimated at over 100 but under 1,000 birds, 11 percent are between 1,000 and 10,000, and only 2 of 547 sites support more than 10,000 birds. Of the latter, Nelson Lagoon (028 042) is occupied by about 13,000 Glaucous-winged Gulls nesting on several Sandbar islands. Egg Island (064 022) on the Copper River Delta sup- ports an apparently expanding population of 11,000 gulls. Neither of these sites is used to any significant degree by seabirds other than gulls. 11 Herring Gull ( Larus argentatus) \\ <> CATALOG TOTAL 287 NUMBER OF SITES 12 f ESTIMATED POPULATION < 300 f The Herring Gull has a wide circumpolar breeding which frequently fall prey to Herring Gulls.

(º | \ | The Mew Gull is both an interior and a coastal nesting Species. It is widely distributed across northern Europe and Asia, while the North American population inhabits northwestern Canada and all of Alaska south of the Brooks Range, except for the Aleutian Islands. The Pacific coast from the northern Gulf of Alaska to Southern California supports the North American birds in winter. Mew Gulls are not highly pelagic and are com- monly observed only in nearshore waters in both winter and Summer. Interior-nesting birds rarely form distinct colonies but are scattered along streams, lakes, and in marshy tundra. The coastal population occurs as scattered pairs or in Small colonies on mainland beaches and sandspits, and on islands of low relief. Nests are usually placed on the ground, but occasionally in trees. The diet of coastal-dwelling Mew Gulls includes small, surface-shoaling fishes, but this species is not usually observed in mixed feeding flocks of seabirds as are most other gulls and terns. Mew Gulls forage on beaches and mudflats for a wide variety of intertidal marine life and are attracted in large numbers to garbage dumps, can- neries, and Salmon spawning streams. Alaskan Population Information presented in the catalog deals only with the population of Mew Gulls breeding on the coast. It seems probable that the greater part of the total Alaskan population breeds inland, but few data are available upon which to base such a conclusion. There are 44 re- ported coastal breeding sites with a total of 3,442 birds. The actual coastal population is certainly much higher; we tentatively place the total at about 10,000 birds. Because of the small size of most colonies of Mew Gulls, and their otherwise scattered distribution, much of the breeding population probably goes unnoticed or unre- ported. Most colonies contain fewer than 100 birds. Popula- tions of more than 500 birds are recorded for only two locations: Bendel lsland (027 008), with an estimated 600 Mew Gulls, and the mouth of the Alsek River (046 001), where approximately 600 birds nest on several small sandbar islands. About 40 percent of the total population and more than half of the presently known colonies have been found in the Kodiak Archi- pelago, largely a reflection of the intensity of Surveys in that region during recent years, Near human settlements Mew Gulls commonly suffer Some losses in productivity through egging. Local populations may have been considerably reduced or displaced by Such activity in the Kodiak area. Neverthe- less, the outlook for this species is probably to increase in numbers with increasing artificial food supplies. 13 Black-legged Kittiwake (Rissa tridactyla ) Qºr § §§ §§ \ §§ \ º §§ | º N t > * |-- Łºº 25-2.2% - &; ğ CN Šºšº §§ §º E.

Kittiwake colo- nies are conspicuous, noisy, and not easily overlooked by even the most casual observer. Colony sites include offshore islands, rocks, and mainland cliffs. Although most colonies are located next to the open Sea, Some are found in fjords, often near the heads of glaciers. One such colony in Glacier Bay (045 001) is more than 140 kilometers, as a kittiwake would fly, from the open Sea. Nests of grass, moss, or other plant materials and mud are typically constructed on precipitous cliff faces, although in their selection of nesting sites, kittiwakes show considerable flexibility. At Middleton Island (048 001), for instance, large numbers of kittiwakes build their nests one half kilometer or more from the shoreline on comparatively gradual and Soil-covered slopes. Here, also, such unlikely sites as boulders pro- truding above extensive wet meadows near sea level and the decks and rigging of an aging shipwreck have been colonized. Black-legged Kittiwakes are among the most pelagic of gulls, ranging far from land both during and Outside of the breeding season. Their food consists primarily of small fish and crustaceans or other invertebrates obtained at or near the water's surface. Alaskan Population Present data indicate that the Alaskan population of Black-legged Kittiwakes is probably not less than 2 million birds. The majority of the population breeds along the southern coast from Prince William Sound to the tip of the Alaska Peninsula and in the southern Bering Sea. Breeding populations range in size from a few pairs to colonies numbering more than 100,000 birds such as occur at Middleton Island (048 001), Aghiyuk Island (031 008), and Cape Peirce (039 010). Populations exceed 10,000 kittiwakes at an additional 36 sites, while 88 of 263 recognized colonies consist of fewer than 500 birds. Population estimates are available for most sites (234 of 263) and may be fairly accurate, at least in the case of small and medium-sized colonies, where the number of nests is relatively easily counted or estimated. We tentatively place the actual Alaskan popu- lation of Black-legged Kittiwakes at about 2.5 million to account for colonies not yet discovered, those for which we have no population estimates, and a suspected general underestimation of colony size. Kittiwake colonies are among the most obvious of seabird colonies, and it is likely that we know of all major ones. Large colonies at Cape Newenham (Map 39) and St. Lawrence Island (Map 93) are in most need of improved censusing. Additional colonies of considerable size may be discovered in the eastern Aleutians. 14 Red-legged Kittiwake (Rissa brevirostris ) º ºf-A2 ź & Yºlº §§§ S \\ 2%;j} *sºr, F- *: --- ſº sº 1 {{ſ} ... * = -* * * = * *ms CATALOG TOTAL 226,802 NUMBER OF SITES 6 ESTIMATED POPULATION 250,000 Except for the distinctive feature from which it derives its name, the Red-legged Kittiwake closely resembles its more common congener, the Black-legged Kittiwake. The entire range of the Red-legged Kittiwake is limited to the Bering Sea. All known colonies are in Alaska except for Copper Island in the Commander Islands, U.S.S.R., where only a small number are present. Like the Black-legged Kittiwake, this species is highly pe- lagic and may be seen far from land throughout the year. Red-legged Kittiwakes share all of their known breed- ing grounds with Black-legged Kittiwakes. At St. George Island (038 001), they generally nest at higher elevation on the cliffs than do Black-legged Kittiwakes, but the two spe- cies also occur side by side (Hickey and Craighead 1977). Nests of Red-legged Kittiwakes are somewhat smaller and are more often built under overhangs (Hunt 1977). While Black-legged Kittiwakes most frequently lay a clutch of two eggs, Red-legged Kittiwakes lay only one (Hunt 1977). Both kittiwakes feed primarily on small fish by plunging from Some height above the surface. Alaskan Population The colony catalog records a total of 226,802 Red- legged Kittiwakes for six sites in Alaska. Our best estimate of the actual Alaskan population would be near- ly the same, about 250,000 birds, because census data are of good quality. Data on all sites are from a direct count of nests or derived from intensive sampling, except for St. Paul Island (038 002) for which data are more specula- tive. Few, if any, new colonies are likely to be discovered. St. George Island (038 001) harbors over 97 percent of the Red-legged Kittiwakes recorded in Alaska and thus is the main stronghold of this species’ world population. Other known colonies are at St. Paul Island (038 002), Buldir Island (014 001), Bogoslof Island (022 003), Fire Island (022 004) and Walrus Island (038 004). It is quite likely that small numbers nest on Otter Island (038 003) but none have been identified on the cursory surveys of these islands. 15 Arctic Tern ( Sterna paradisaea ) Sº & §s. \\ * = * * = - \ \ \ ^*- CATALOG TOTAL 13,586' NUMBER OF SITES 1317 ESTIMATED POPULATION 25,000 ' The breeding range of Arctic Terns is circumpolar in the northern hemisphere, extending from north temper- ate and subarctic latitudes (about 45° N in the western Atlantic, and 55° to 60° N elsewhere) to the high arctic islands and coasts of North America and Eurasia. This species is the only seabird breeding in Alaska which winters in Subantarctic and antarctic waters. Its migratory route between breeding and wintering grounds is thus one of the longest known. In Alaska, as elsewhere, Arctic Terns breed through- out the interior region as well as on the coast. They nest near fresh or saltwater on sandspits, beaches, rocky shores and islands, or on wet tundra. The nest is a small depression on the ground, lined only sparsely, or not at all, with grass. Two or three eggs is the usual clutch and replacement clutches may be produced if first nesting attempts are disrupted. Terns occur either in small to medium-sized colonies or as scattered, isolated pairs. Where their ranges overlap, this species and the Aleutian tern often nest together in mixed colonies. Nest sites are frequently moved from year to year in response to pre- dators and other factors; only the largest colonies tend to persist at the same locations. This fact has obvious implications for the applicability of data on tern colo- nies presented in the catalog. Terns feed chiefly on small fish or invertebrates captured by plunging from several meters above the surface. Alaskan Population The catalog deals only with that portion of the population of Arctic Terns nesting on the Alaskan coast. A total of 13,586 birds has been reported for 131 diff- erent breeding sites. We believe the actual population of Arctic Terns on the coast is probably closer to 25,000 birds but can offer no opinion as to what pro- portion of the total Alaskan population this figure represents. Virtually all data on Arctic Terns presented in the catalog have been accumulated since about 1973. Most information has been provided incidentally by observers concerned primarily with other species and habitats. Because of the transitory nature of many tern colonies, we have not included data from older accounts in the catalog, though many references exist to tern colonies located along portions of the Alaskan coast which have not been adequately surveyed in recent years. The apparent paucity of terns in Cook Inlet, along the South- ern coast of the Alaska Peninsula, and in the eastern Aleutians and Bristol Bay may be at least partly due to incomplete coverage. Population size is unknown for 24 of 131 reported colonies. Most colonies contain fewer than 100 birds, 29 have between 100 and 500 birds, and 4 are larger than 500. About 40 percent of the Arctic Terns recorded in the catalog nest in 28 colonies in the Kodiak Ar- chipelago. The largest of these is at Ladder Island (034 007). Prince William Sound, with 33 colonies and 15 percent of the total population, is clearly an- other important area for this species. 16 Aleutian Tern ( Sterna aleutica ) 4% % g3% šº 㺠a 3 Š % 3% 2& 3% % - %age &/.4% §: *ś ..." & % Z.

The major- ity of birds probably winter in the northwestern Pacific. In nesting and food habits, this species is similar to the Arctic Tern except that, so far as is known, all colo- nies of Aleutian Terns are located on or very near the coast. The two species frequently occur together in mixed colonies. Nesting habitat includes sandspits, sand- bar islands, or the flat, vegetated tops of rugged islands. Instances of colonies shifting location from year to year have been frequently noted. Alaskan Population Twenty-eight colonies of Aleutian Terns are known in Alaska, with a total population of some 3,403 birds. We feel that the actual population is probably closer to 10,000. Aleutian Terns are listed as “probably present” at 3 of the 28 reported colonies, “present” at 2, num- bering fewer than 100 birds at 13, between 100 and 500 birds at 8, and more than 500 birds at only 2 colonies. The largest reported colony is at Entrance Point (028 046) on the Port Moller Spit, where between 800 and 1,200 Aleutian Terns nest along with an estimated 400 Arctic Terns. The second largest is apparently a mixed tern colony on Goodnews Bay Spit (0.53 001) which includes approximately 600 Aleutian Terns. Many more colonies of this species probably exist which are not listed in the catalog, but most are prob- ably small. Aleutian Terns are known to breed in considerable numbers on the Copper River Delta (Map 64) and are probably present in low numbers in many colonies of Arctic Terns where they are easily overlooked. 17 Murres (Uria spp.) \. ." :* * - ‘. . .* ... . . . . . :f : . . . ; • * : **, *.. - 16 519,857 Św 10,000,000 1,402,810 s ſº Jººs, * .2 - " - ,- . º TT - - - - - ºğ.

The Thick- billed Murre is primarily a bird of arctic and subarctic regions, where it frequently breeds in close association with Common Murres. The breeding range of Common Murres extends to temperate latitudes as well. Because of their close similarity in appearance, the two species of murres are distinguished only by close scrutiny. Field observers have frequently made no such distinction in surveys of mixed colonies, so the status of murres in Alaska is best considered jointly. The murres also show a very close ecological affinity, there being only subtle or poorly understood differences in their breeding and foraging habits, terrestrial and aquatic habitat requirements, and annual cycle. With regard to breeding habits, murres are notable for the complete absence of any nest-building behavior. Their clutches, consisting of a single egg, are typically laid on bare rock ledges. The colonial nesting habit is very highly develop- ed in murres, and a “shoulder to shoulder” arrangement on the nesting ledges is the rule. Murres obtain their food by diving. The prey are predominately small (herring-sized) fish, the particular species in the diet varying both seasonally and locally. Alaskan Population Collectively, the two murre species may be the most numerous of all pelagic birds breeding in Alaska. The catalog lists 183 colonies of one or both species totaling more than 7 million birds. Population estimates are available for nearly all colonies. Diurnal and seasonal fluctuations in colony attendance are considerable, however, and large aggregations of murres are difficult to estimate. In many cases different observers have offered widely divergent figures for the same area. In censusing murres it is the total number of birds on the cliffs that is estimated rather than the total number of nests or occupied sites. Since not all nonbreeding birds or both members of breeding pairs are ever present at one time, the figures given may be generally regarded as minimal. We place the actual combined population of murres in Alaska at about 10 million birds. Sufficient data are available for the two species to provide a general picture of relative abundance in coastal regions of Alaska. Thick-billed Murres, which are absent from Southeastern Alaska, represent 15 to 20 percent of the population in the remainder of the Gulf of Alaska. In the Aleutian Islands, the two species are approximately evenly represented. Very few Thick- billed Murres are present at colonies in Bristol Bay or Norton Sound, but elsewhere north of the Aleutian Islands this species tends to predominate. Overall, the populations of Common and Thick-billed Murres in Alaska appear to be fairly similar. The largest breeding aggregation of murres in Alaska occurs at the Pribilof Islands (Map 38) where some 1.7 million Thick-billed Murres and 150,000 Common Murres are found. Mainland colonies at Cape Newenham (Map 039) and Cape Peirce (039 010) in Bristol Bay contain populations of Common Murres estimated at about 300,000 and 500,000 birds, respectively. Farther north the populations at Hall Island (056 009), with some 340,000 birds of both species, and Cape Thomp- son (Map 129), with about 400,000 Thick-billed and Common Murres, are particularly notable. In the Gulf of Alaska the complex of colonies at the Semidi Islands (Map 031) is outstanding with a catalog total of about 600,000 murres, of which perhaps 80 percent are Common Murres. In addition to those mentioned, the catalog presently lists six other breeding areas of murres where total pop- ulations have been estimated at 200,000 or more birds. These are Spitz Island (027 021), Karpa Island (028 039), Kagamil Island (021 004), North Twin Island (039 026), Nunivak Island (057 001 and 057 004), and the South- west Cape of St. Lawrence Island (093 001). Large colonies of murres are relatively conspicuous, and it is unlikely that any major breeding grounds are still unknown. Numerous smaller breeding populations probably remain undocumented, however, and most large colonies are much in need of improved censusing. 18 Common Murre Uria aalge * * mas * = * * * 229,200 * * * = " * - * * * $º *e 17 O 10,322 \ ::::::Sºº-- CATALOG TOTAL 1,690,584 NUMBER OF SITES 142 ESTIMATED POPULATION 5,000,000 Thick-billed Murre S Uria lomvia * mm * mem * *m * = 12 34,060 " * = - CATALOG TOTAL 1,768,536 NUMBER OF SITES 76 ESTIMATED POPULATION 5,000,000 The Black Guillemot is primarily a bird of the far northern Atlantic and Canadian and Eurasian Arctic. Its Atlantic breeding range extends as far south as Maine and the British Isles, while arctic explorers have noted the species at sea as far north as 84° N. Until recently, Alaskan records of Black Guillemots were mostly for winter months. The first breeding records, involving Small numbers of birds, were obtained at Cape Thompson in 1960 (Swartz 1966) and near Point Barrow in 1966 (MacLean and Verbeek 1968). Since then, many addi- tional records have been accumulated, and it seems likely that the population and range of this species in Alaska are presently expanding. Black Guillemots are similar in appearance and habits to Pigeon Guillemots, the more common of the two species in Alaska. They are usually seen in low numbers in inshore waters or leads in the ice. Birds nest in colo- nies or as solitary pairs. Natural cavities in talus, on boulder beaches, or on rock cliffs provide suitable nest sites. On the Chukchi and Beaufort Sea coasts, guillemots nest on barrier islands composed of sand or gravel and largely devoid of vegetation and local relief. Here they inhabit piles of driftwood and various types of man- made debris and are probably limited by the presence of these features (Divoky et al. 1974).

A few more are also present along the Beaufort Sea coast. We speculatively estimate the total Alaskan population of Black Guillemots to be only about 400 birds. The main variables for this estimate are how many, if any, are present on St. Lawrence, King, and Little Diomede Islands (we assume few), and the accuracy of population estimates obtained at Cape Lisburne and Cape Thomp- son (Map 129). Other known breeding sites include Seahorse Island (147 001), Jago Spit (152 001), Point Barrow Spit (153 001), Deadman Island (153 002), Copper Island (153 003), and Igalik Island (153 004). 20 t CATALOG TOTAL 40,571 NUMBER OF SITES 363 ESTIMATED POPULATION 200,000 The world distribution of Pigeon Guillemots extends from northern Japan to the Aleutian Islands, Bering Sea, and southern Chukchi Sea (Cape Lisburne), and south along the North American coast to islands off southern California. The species is easily confused on sight with the Black Guillemot, but the relevant breeding ranges Overlap only at Cape Lisburne and Cape Thompson (Map 111), Little Diomede Island (111 009), and possibly St. Lawrence Island (Map 93). Pigeon Guillemots typically nest in natural cavities, with boulder beaches, talus slopes, and broken cliffs at low elevations providing suitable nest sites. They may also nest in unoccupied burrows of Tufted Puffins or occasionally dig their own burrows. Pigeon and Black Guillemots are among the small minority of alcids that normally lay clutches of two eggs. Pigeon Guillemots are further exceptional in their pattern of dispersion during the breeding season. In many areas breeding pairs are distributed ubiquitously, but at low density, along rocky coastlines. Where large numbers of guillemots occur, however, they usually form more or less distinct colonies. The diet consists almost exclusively of fish obtained by diving in nearshore waters. This species is rarely observed more than a few kilometers from land. Alaskan Population The catalog records 363 breeding areas of Pigeon Guillemots and a total of about 40,000 birds. Nine sites have estimated populations of 1,000 or more guillemots. Particularly noteworthy among these are Anagaksik Island (018 001) and Mitrofania Island (027 024), each with about 4,000 birds, and Jude Island (028 018) and an unnamed island (031 023), each with estimated pop- ulations of 3,000 guillemots. At the majority of sites for which population figures are available (253 of 304), populations are reported to be 100 or fewer birds. In view of the scattered breeding dispersion of this species, it seems likely that a major part of the Alaskan popula- tion has been overlooked in previous coastal surveys, which have generally focused on the more conventional and conspicuous seabird colonies. Much suitable habitat on the south side of the Alaska Peninsula and through- out the Aleutian Islands remains to be adequately surveyed for this species. Similarly, the population of Pigeon Guillemots in Southeastern Alaska is probably also much greater than present data indicate. We believe the actual statewide population of Pigeon Guillemots is about 200,000 birds. 21 Marbled Murrelet (Brachyramphus marmoratus) Kittlitz's Murrelet (Brachyramphus brevirostris) Marbled Murrelet dants on Kittlitz’s Murrelet ALASKAN BREEDING RANGE : Marbled Murrelet N Kittlitz’s Murrelet 2. These closely related small alcids share the distinction of being the least known of Alaskan seabirds, at least with respect to their activities on land. Few nests of either species have been discovered and reported by Ornithologists. Both species are apparently noncolonial, they visit land only at night, and their nests are often, if not typically, located inland from the coast. Judging from sightings at sea and the few nests that have been discovered, Marbled Murrelets breed in the northeastern Pacific from northern California to Adak Island in the central Aleutians. They are evidently ab- sent in the Aleutians west of Adak but breed in the western Pacific from the Kamchatka Peninsula to Southern Japan. Marbled Murrelets are seen occasionally in the southern Bering Sea (Bristol Bay and the Pribilofs), but it is doubtful that they breed in this region. Kittlitz's Murrelet is apparently largely endemic to Alaska. Out- side Alaska it probably breeds locally in northeastern Siberia and in the Commander Islands. For nesting habitat Marbled Murrelets probably prefer the limbs of evergreen trees, although their presence in the treeless portions of southwestern Alaska indicates ground-nesting as well. Kittlitz’s Murrelets apparently nest Solitarily in rocky, alpine habitat up to several thousand feet in elevation, as well as on steep sea slopes (Bailey 1973, 1976). Murrelets feed primarily on Small fish and crustaceans, and although they generally forage close to shore, the distance between feeding grounds and inland nest sites may be considerable. Both species apparently breed regularly some 15 to 30 kilo- meters inland. Alaskan Population Marbled Murrelets are locally abundant in inshore waters from Southeastern Alaska to Kodiak Island. Far- ther west they become increasingly uncommon. The center of abundance of Kittlitz's Murrelets may be similarly described, but they are also common along the Alaska Peninsula and throughout the Aleutian Islands. Nowhere, however, do they attain numbers similar to those of the Marbled Murrelet in the heart of its Alaskan breeding range. The Summer population of the latter species in the Prince William Sound region alone has been estimated at several hundred thousand birds (Isleib and Kessel 1973). Kittlitz's Murrelet probably numbers in the tens of thousands in Prince William Sound in Summer. Since censuses of breeding birds have not been carried out, indeed are virtually impossible, data in the colony catalog shed no light on the overall abundance of these species in Alaska. 22 Ancient Murrelet ( Synthliboramphus antiquus) <: Šºš2: --- ºś _- º --- ~ ; **T*. zzzzzz * ~~~~~~ %22zº - w/º…” zz” CATALOG TOTAL 113,302 NUMBER OF SITES 40 ESTIMATED POPULATION 400,000 The Ancient Murrelet is one of three colonial species of alcids breeding in Alaska which are nocturnal on their breeding grounds. Obviously, their requirement for darkness restricts these species to latitudes at which the duration of summer nights provides a sufficient period for activity on land. The Ancient Murrelet breeds from the Gulf of Alaska and Aleutian Islands south to the coasts of Korea and British Columbia. It is not found in the Bering Sea north of the Aleutian Islands. Ancient Murrelets nest in burrows up to about one meter in length, or in natural cavities under rocks, tree roots, or overhanging clumps of sod. They are among the minority of alcids which normally lay clutches of two eggs, and are also exceptional in having highly precocial young. After a period of only about 2 days in the nest the newly hatched and downy chicks make their way to the water and complete their development at sea under the care of adult birds. This arrangement may afford important economics in the process of rearing chicks, since adults are relieved of lengthy food gathering trips to distant foraging areas. The diet is composed primarily of small crustaceans and fish. Alaskan Population Due to the nocturnal habits of Ancient Murrelets on land, information on their distribution and abundance in Alaska is far from complete. The catalog presently records a total of 113,302 Ancient Murrelets, but population estimates are available for only 11 of 40 known breeding sites. The distribution of known colo- nies largely reflects the distribution of the most thor- ough observations since only these would have been likely to detect their presence. It is certain that many additional colonies will be discovered throughout the Aleutian Islands, on islands off the southern coast of the Alaska Peninsula, and possibly also in Southeastern Alaska. We believe that 400,000 is a realistic estimate of the actual population of Ancient Murrelets in Alaska. The colony at Forrester Island (001 002) contains an estimated 60,000 birds and may be the largest of this species in the State. Populations at Hunt Island (025 032) and Castle Rock (027 014) have been estimated at 10,000 and 30,000 birds, respectively. Major colonies for which we have no population data are present on Karpa Island (028 039) and The Haystacks (028 019). Because their nests are usually accessible to predators, populations of Ancient Murrelets were undoubtedly decimated by introduced foxes on many islands where the species formerly bred in large numbers. Murrelets will probably recolonize many islands if foxes are removed. After a period of only about two days in the nest the newly hatched Ancient Murrelet chicks make their way to the sea and complete their development under the care of the adults. photo by Anthony DeGange 23 Cassin's Auklet (Ptychoramphus aleuticus) *%. º º º º º ºf 173*T a -- ºn", ". º l ſ º | ;” - - . CATALOG TOTAL 3.19,140 NUMBER OF SITES 21 ESTIMATED POPULATION 600,000 This small alcid apparently is restricted to the North American side of the Pacific. It is known to breed from Guadalupe Island and Baja California in the south, north into the Gulf of Alaska, and west to Buldir Island in the Aleutian Chain. All presently known colonies are located south of 57° N latitude, but the species is regularly observed farther north in the Gulf of Alaska. Cassin's Auklets feed on planktonic crustaceans or other invertebrates and probably forage farther offshore during the breeding season than do other small alcids. They are strictly nocturnal on the breeding grounds. Nest sites are burrows which may be superficially indistinguishable from those of Ancient Murrelets. In Southeastern Alaska they dig burrows under Sitka spruce (Picea sitchensis) or a heavy understory of salmonberry (Rubus spectabilis) and grasses. Farther west, they occupy grassy slopes or areas of bare ground. Nesting densities are typically high, and in places this may lead to an absence of vegetation and consequent soil erosion. Alaskan Population The distribution and abundance of Cassin's Auklets in Alaska are poorly known. The catalog lists 21 known colonies but population estimates are available for only 8. These eight colonies contain about 342,000 birds. Some of the remaining colonies are known to be large and more will certainly be discovered. We speculate that the total Alaskan population will prove to be about 600,000 birds. Although until very recently the southeastern coast appeared to be the only region with substantial numbers of Cassin's Auklets, their center of abundance in Alaska may actually be the area from about 156°W to the end of the Alaska Peninsula. Half of the breeding sites and over two-thirds of the presently recorded population were found in the Sandman Reefs during a 1978 survey. Two very large colonies in this area, each containing an estimated 100,000 birds, exist at Unga Island (025 020) and in the Nigrud Group (025 001). The next largest colony, with perhaps 46,000 birds, is found at Castle Rock (027 014), while other populations of 20,000 or more auklets nest on Petrel lsland (001 001), Hunter Island (025 018), and Lowrie Island (001 005). In 1894 Cassin's Auklets were found breeding in immense numbers on Sanak Island by Littlejohn (Gabrielson and Lincoln 1959). Murie (1959) could not find any sign of them on Sanak in 1937 and believed that they had nearly, if not entirely, disappeared. By his account Natives reported “millions of them” on several islands near Atka and Amlia Islands before foxes reached these islands. Cassin's Auklets are one of the most vulnerable species to mammalian predators, since their burrows are generally very accessible. Fox intro- ductions to Sanak and many other Alaskan islands probably reduced the population to only a remnant of its former level. Today, with foxes gone from many islands, the Alaskan population of Cassin's Auklets may be recovering. º º - Cassin's Auklet burrows at Castle Rock (027 014), photo by Arthur Sowls 24 Parakeet Auklet ( Cyclorrhynchus psittacula ) 23 87,250 º TT---------- 3 | • T ~~~~ 184,000 O | TT-----_ | $3.

In winter this species is observed off Japan and California, though the majority of the popu- lation probably remains in ice-free areas within its breeding range. This species and the Crested, Least, and Whiskered Auklets show general similarities in nesting habitat and feeding ecology. These birds all forage at depth on Small crustaceans, and, where their ranges overlap, they usually occur together in mixed colonies. All four species are diurnal on their breeding grounds. Parakeet Auklets nest deep within the rubble of talus slopes and in cracks and crevices on rocky shorelines or cliffs. Most nests are inaccessible to human observers as well as natural predators. The colonial tendency is seem- ingly less strong in this species than in other auklets, and they may nest in Small scattered groups or as Solitary pairs. Alaskan Population The catalog presently records a total of 429,436 Parakeet Auklets at 90 sites in Alaska. Their presence is noted at an additional 35 sites for which no population estimates are available. Improved censusing is essential at most sites. Experience has shown that populations of this species are consistently underestimated in shipboard or aerial Surveys at seabird colonies and are occasionally missed altogether. Additional colonies are most likely to be discovered in the Aleutian Islands and along the Southwest side of the Alaska Peninsula. We believe the actual population of Parakeet Auklets in Alaska is prob- ably about 800,000 birds. Large colonies of this species occur throughout the Bering Sea, Aleutian Islands, and western Gulf of Alaska, and total populations in these regions will probably prove to be fairly similar. In the Kodiak Archipelago and waters farther east, average colony size and total population decline sharply. The largest population currently treated as one colony occurs on St. George Island (038 001) where there are an estimated 150,000 Parakeet Auklets. About 58,000 birds nest on Chowiet Island (031 003) of the Semidi Islands. Large numbers. are present on each of eight other islands in the Semidis, but population estimates are not available. Other large colonies, each containing more than 20,000 birds, are reported at Gareloi Island (016 015), St. Paul Island (038 002), King Island (111 001), and Little Diomede Island (111 009). 25 Crested Auklet (Aethia cristatella ) 19 799,000 tº TT---------- 2 | * = 34,000 ° | * 10 * = ---, 3tº: ** O º, APe 468,100 \ \ * \ CATALOG TOTAL 1,343,750 NUMBER OF SITES 38 ESTIMATED POPULATION 2,000,000 \ l The Crested Auklet is primarily a bird of the Bering Sea and Aleutian Islands, although its breeding range extends to the Kurile Islands on the Asian side of the Pacific. In Alaska, small numbers may be observed as far east as Kodiak Island in Summer, but no colonies are known east of the Shumagin Islands and none are likely to be discovered. The Kodiak area is well recog- nized as an important wintering area, however. The species is common in winter in ice-free waters through- out its breeding range and South to Japan. Crested Auklets nest in crevices in talus slopes, lava flows or cliffs, and under beach boulders. They fre- quently occur in mixed colonies with large numbers of Least Auklets and lesser numbers of Parakeet Auklets or Whiskered Auklets. They feed on small, planktonic crustaceans, a food source which is shared, at least in part, by all of the species of auklets mentioned. Flocking behavior is highly developed in Crested Auklets, both during and outside of the breeding season. Aerial displays at the breeding grounds by thousands of birds in dense, cloudlike flocks are unforgettably spec- tacular (photo accompanying Map 27). Alaskan Population Current data indicate an Alaskan population of Crested Auklets in excess of 1 million birds. There are 38 known breeding sites, and population estimates are available for all but 6 of these. Colonies of this species are scenes of activity during the daytime, and it seems likely that most major breeding grounds are presently known. Data are only deceptively complete, however, because at least one colony of undetermined size, Sirius Point (014 002), is known to be very large, and popula- tion figures for many other large colonies are decidedly crude. More thorough observations at a few colonies have shown that actual populations are often many times larger than previously indicated by cursory sur- veys of the same colonies. Censusing of colonies in the central and western Aleutians, at St. Matthew and Hall Islands (Map 56), and at Fairway Rock (111 008) is in particular need of improvement. We believe that 2 million is a realistic estimate of the total population of Crested Auklets in Alaska. The largest colony of Crested Auklets in the Aleutians is probably that at Sirius Point (014 002), followed by one at Gareloi Island (016 015), with an estimated 186,000 birds. Colonies on St. Matthew and Hall Islands (Map 56) together contain at least 100,000 birds, while a total population of more than 400,000 is indicated for St. Lawrence Island (Map 93). An estimated 140,000 Crested Auklets nest on Little Diomede Island (111 009). These major breeding grounds contain a large part of the total Alaskan population of Crested Auklets but other sizable colonies exist on the Pribilofs (Map 38), in the Shumagin Islands (Map 27), and throughout the Aleutians. 26 Least Auklet (Aethia pusilla ) <--~ $º- • ‘i .

Whatever these diminutive birds lack in size, however, they compensate for in numbers. They rank among the most abundant of pelagic birds breeding in Alaska. Their breeding range extends from the Siberian and Alaskan coasts of the Chukchi Sea South to islands of the Bering Sea, the Aleutian Islands, and the southern coast of the Alaska Peninsula. The eastern margin of their breeding range in the Gulf of Alaska is apparently marked by the Semidi Islands. The wintering range encompasses nearshore areas within the breeding range but extends as far South as northern Japan on the Asian side of the Pacific. - Least Auklets feed primarily in nearshore waters on planktonic crustaceans. They characteristically nest in enormous colonies. Their single eggs are laid in bare rock Crevices deep in talus or in Small cavities in lava flows overgrown with vegetation. On Gareloi Island (016 015) a huge colony of this species occupies grass Covered flows which date to the 1920's. Least Auklets commonly nest in close association with other crevice-nesting species, such as Crested, Parakeet, or Whiskered Auklets. Differences in nest-site Selection allow the orderly apportionment of the available habitat among these coexisting species, but in Overall abundance the Least Auklet greatly exceeds the Others in most mixed colonies. Alaskan Population The catalog lists 31 sites at which Least Auklets are known to breed in Alaska. Population estimates, total- ing about 3.4 million birds, are available for all but three of these. The largest colonies, containing from 250,000 to nearly 1 million birds each, are those at Little Diomede Island (11 1 009), St. Lawrence Island (093 001 and 005), St. George Island (038 001), Gareloi Island (016 015), and Sirius Point (014 002). The frequently overwhelming numbers, the type of nesting habitat, and the marked fluctuations in colony attendance of this species make estimation of numbers extremely difficult and imprecise. In many cases present data represent no more than one observer's quick visual estimation of the number of birds present during a single visit. Some known colonies are likely to be several times larger than data presented here indicate. This is probably true, for example, of colonies at St. Matthew and Hall Islands (Map 57) and at several locations in the Aleutians, including Sirius Point (014 002), Segula Island (015 003), Oglodak Island (018 004), Kasatochi Island (018 005), and Koniuji Island (018 006). Addi- tional large colonies of Least Auklets may be present in the Aleutian Islands, and small numbers may breed at a few other locations along the Southwestern Alaska Peninsula. Our best estimate of the actual population of Least Auklets in Alaska is 6 million birds. Murie (1959) relates older accounts of large numbers of Least Auklets on Bobrof Island (017 005) which were reported to be greatly reduced by introduced foxes by the time of his own observations. No Least Auklets were observed at Bobrof during a 1977 survey. Never- theless, large colonies of this species have coexisted with endemic foxes on many islands. While predation on auklets by foxes in these situations is certainly signifi- cant, it apparently does not preclude sustained successful nesting. Thus, this species may have been less affected by the fox farming industry than were many other seabird species. 27 Whiskered Auklet (Aethia pygmaea) º Mº K. Wºº, {\º wº º wº º - - … -- CATALOG TOTAL 6,400 NUMBER OF SITES 10 ESTIMATED POPULATION 20,000 The distribution of Whiskered Auklets is very limited, both in and outside of Alaska. The apparent decline or disappearance of this species in the Near Islands of the Aleutian Chain (Murie 1959) casts doubt on its status farther to the west and south in the North Pacific. It has bred, at least historically, in the Kurile and Commander Islands as well as throughout the Aleutians. Whiskered Auklets commonly nest in talus in com- pany with Least and Crested Auklets, their more widely distributed and abundant congeners. The life history and food habits of this species have been little studied, but are probably generally similar to those of other small, plankton-feeding auklets within its range. Alaskan Population The rarest of alcids in Alaska, Whiskered Auklets are presently known or suspected to breed in small or moderate numbers on 10 islands of the Aleutian Chain from Buldir Island (014 001) east at least to the Islands of Four Mountains (Map 20) and probably to the Baby Islands (023 003). Population estimates, totaling 6,400 birds, are avail- able at five breeding sites. The largest known colony, on Buldir Island, contains an estimated 3,000 birds. The colony at Yanaska Island (020 003) consists of perhaps 2,000 birds, while those at Koniuji (018 006), Chagulak (020 002), and Herbert (020 004) Islands each contain fewer than 1,000 birds, according to present informa- tion. Undiscovered breeding populations undoubtedly exist, and population estimates for known colonies are suspected to be low. We believe the present total popu- lation of Whiskered Auklets in Alaska is probably about 20,000 birds. Historical evidence (Murie 1959) suggests this species may have been considerably more abundant in the past, and more information on its present status and trend of its population is clearly desirable. Foxes introduced to many of Alaska's seabird islands have severely reduced many colonies. They probably have most seriously affected the auklets and storm pet- rels. This arctic fox has a Least Auklet. Anthony DeGange photo by 28 Rhinoceros Auklet (Cerorhinca monocerata) CATALOG TOTAL 112,618 NUMBER OF SITES 12 ESTIMATED POPULATION - 200,000 Rhinoceros Auklets are large alcids closely related to the puffins. Their name derives from a “horn” on the bill, which is present only during the breeding season. Breeding colonies are found from northern California through the Gulf of Alaska, and in Japan, the Kurile Islands, and Korea. Rhinoceros Auklets excavate burrows on grassy slopes or beneath forest canopies. Normally, females lay only one egg each season. Birds enter and leave the colony only at night, making detection of their colonies difficult because burrows must be found and identified or birds must be spotted at night with lights. Rhinoceros Auklets feed on Small fish and crustaceans by diving, using their wings to Swim to considerable depths. Alaskan Population A total of 112,618 Rhinoceros Auklets is presently recorded in the catalog for 12 sites. Eight of these nest- ing areas have been discovered since 1973. This reflects both an historic lack of work on Alaskan seabirds and the difficulties of locating colonies of this species. The infrequency of sighting of these birds at Sea indicates, however, that the total population in Alaska is small and that additional large colonies are not likely to be present. Undiscovered colonies, birds at sea, and a suspected underestimation of populations at known colonies Suggest that the actual Alaskan population may be about 200,000 birds. Southeastern Alaska is probably the only region where large colonies of this species still might be dis- covered. The outer coast appears to have suitable habitat which has not been adequately surveyed and is near large colonies at Forrester Island and in British Columbia. Nesting would be expected only on the smaller and farther offshore islands that are free from mammalian predators, to which these birds are highly vulnerable. Additional small colonies probably await discovery in the Aleutian Islands and the Gulf of Alaska. Forrester Island (001 002) contains the only large colony of this species known in Alaska. An estimated 108,000 Rhinoceros Auklets nest under dense stands of Sitka spruce and western hemlock (Tsuga heterophylla) on the northern half of the island. Additional birds may occupy the Southern, unsurveyed part. Other known breeding colonies, all of which are small, are located on Lowrie Island (001 005), the Hazy Islands (004 004), the St. Lazaria Islands (005 004), Patton Island (025 013), Middleton Island (048 001), Matushka Island (049 024), Sud Island (043 007), Chowiet Island (031 003), and Buldir Island (014 001). Rhinoceros Auklets almost certainly breed at Ugaiushak Island (031 022) and Near Island (026 007), judging by their presence and behavior near these islands. This species has probably been eliminated by intro- duced foxes from many islands on which it formerly nested. For example, introduced foxes may account for the lack of Rhinoceros Auklets in the Aleutian Islands, where these birds are now found only on fox-free Buldir Island. 29 Horned Puffin ( Fratercula corniculata ) WO 18 % 18,083 - 53 54,645 & sº Yº T - - - - - T --— — — 3 | 2. • I *::::::::.

Their breeding range in Alaska may extend north, at least intermittently, to Seahorse Island (047 001) near Barrow, where one record of possible breeding was obtained in 1974 (G. Divoky, pers. Comm.). Horned Puffins generally nest under beach boulders, in talus, or in crevices of cliffs. This preference reduces competition with Tufted Puffins for nest sites and may be partly responsible for the almost complete overlap in breeding distributions of these two species in Alaska. On Puffin Island (114 002) in Kotzebue Sound, where few Tufted Puffins are found, most of a large popula- tion of Horned Puffins nests in burrows. Expansive areas of rocky habitat, which would typically be required to support such a colony, are lacking on Puffin Island. Like other large alcids, Horned Puffins feed largely on Small fish, but the diet also includes cephalopods and crustaceans in considerable quantities. Alaskan Populations The center of abundance of Horned Puffins in Alaska encompasses islands off the southern coast of the Alaska Peninsula from about 156°W to False Pass. To the east, particularly in the Kodiak Archipelago, north-central Gulf of Alaska, and Prince William Sound, many breed- ing sites are reported but average colony size declines markedly. Horned Puffins are present in considerable numbers throughout the Aleutian Islands, and further observations in that region will probably disclose addi- tional colonies and a much larger population than present data indicate. The colony at St. George Island (038 001) includes most of the population of Horned Puffins in the south- ern Bering Sea. In the northern Bering Sea the principal breeding areas are St. Matthew and Hall Islands (Map 56), Nunivak Island (Map 57), and Little Diomede Island (111 009). Colonies on St. Lawrence Island (Map 93) are probably substantial also, but data on popula- tions are lacking. Adjacent colonies on Puffin (114 002) and Chamisso (114 001) Islands contain most of the population north of Bering Strait. - birds. 1.5 million birds. Of the many large colonies of Horned Puffins in the western Gulf of Alaska, those at the Semidi Islands (Map 31), totaling several hundred thousand birds, are Outstanding. Population estimates are available for only two of nine heavily populated islands in the Semidis. Another large colony in this region exists at Amagat Island (025 014), where there are an estimated 140,000 Statewide there are 15 breeding sites of Horned Puffins that have estimated populations of more than 10,000 birds. No estimates are available for 54 of the 435 known breeding sites. Due to the nature of the nesting habitat and consequent difficulty of censusing this species, population figures obtained at most sites are undoubtedly conservative.

The bright yellow tufts, for which they are named, and brightly colored bill plates are present only during the breeding season. The species breeds in the North Pacific from Cape Lisburne in the north to Hokkaido, Japan, in the west and Southern California in the east. Tufted Puffins winter far at sea, and are almost entirely absent from continental shelf waters during several months of the year. The diet is composed of Small fish, cephalopods, and crustaceans captured by diving. Tufted Puffins nest either in burrows or rock crevices, although crevices are rarely used. Burrows often reach 2 meters in length and may have two or more entrances. In a typical colony, puffins burrow on steep slopes or in soil along the tops of cliffs. Unusual nest sites include sandbar islands in Nelson Lagoon (028 042), where puffins burrow perilously close to the high tide line, and dark recesses inside a wrecked ship on Middleton Island (048 001). Tufted Puffins normally lay only one egg each season. Like many other burrow-nesting species, they are intol- erant of human disturbance during incubation, and frequently desert their nests when disturbed. Alaskan Population Most of the 2 million Tufted Puffins recorded in the colony catalog breed from the north central Gulf of Alaska west throughout the Aleutian Islands. Their numbers are smaller in the Bering Sea north of Bristol Bay and in Southeastern Alaska where adjacent colonies on Petrel (001 001) and Forrester (001 002) Islands contain most of the population. Among the 502 known breeding sites there are at least 11 islands with popula- tions exceeding 50,000 puffins; however, the large majority of colonies contain less than 10,000 birds. The largest Alaskan colony may be that at Kaligagan lsland (024 012) with an estimated 250,000 to 500,000 birds. No population data are available for 52 known colonies. An accurate census of Tufted Puffins at their breeding grounds entails a count of total burrows in the colony or in sample plots, and the determination of the percentage which are in regular use during the breeding season. By contrast, most data on Alaskan puffin colonies come from brief surveys, often conducted by boat or airplane, during which a large part of a local population may not be in evidence. Depending on weather, time of day, stage in the nesting cycle, and other factors, populations may be grossly underesti- mated or missed altogether. In view of the present quality of data we speculate that the actual Alaskan population of Tufted Puffins is perhaps 4 million birds. 31 ESTIMATED ALASKAN POPULATION SPECIES CATALOG TOTAL SUMMARY Northern Fulmar 1,451,980 2,000,000 - - - - Fork-tailed Storm Petrel 1,148,500 5,000,000 The accompanying table and illustration summarize r data on populations of Alaskan seabirds for the entire Leach's sº Petrel 1,709,600 4,000,000 state.

The first three digits indicate the map on which a colony area is located; the last three digits identify the specific colony on the map. For example, a colony on Rootok Island in Unimak Pass was the first colony identified within the region covered by the U.S. Geo- logical Survey Topographical Map No. 24, “Unimak.” This colony is therefore identified by the number 024 001. U.S. Geological Survey Topographical Series Maps, reduced to a scale of 1:500,000 (1/8 inch equals 1 mile), have been used as a basis for the catalog maps. The numbering system for catalog maps is that of the Dictionary of Alaskan Place Names (Orth, 1967). An index of the geographic location of maps faces this page. The page facing each map provides a summary of current information about the area covered by the map. The summary includes: The map's name and number; A brief description of the region covered by the map and the quality of information on colonies within the area covered; c. A small map of Alaska with a key to the location ZT 2. b. º d. A table of our best estimates of the populations of each species at all colonies and the total population of each species within the mapped area. A table identifying the primary sources of infor- mation for each colony and the dates on which this information was obtained. The information summarized in the catalog is from many published and unpublished sources, and varies both in quality and in the ways in which it was origin- ally presented. One source might indicate a population's size by showing a range of sizes within which the actual population could fall; another source by the number of nests or pairs that were observed; a third by an estimate of total birds. To make the information presented in the catalog consistent, all numbers from other sources were converted to estimates of the total number of birds. To obtain these estimates, we used the midpoints when sources provided only possible ranges, and we multi- plied numbers of pairs or nests by two. It was frequently necessary to combine data from several sources to derive our own “best estimate,” after considering both the nature and the dates of the various sources of information. All original data is on file in the Fish and Wildlife Service Office in Anchorage and is available for reference. In addition to population information, this file contains detailed maps, photo- graphs, data on marine mammals and historical infor- mation. Data included in the colony catalog is also in computer format to facilitate continuous updating of information and comparison or correlation of data with data on other physical or biological components of the marine environment. Because more specific information is often lacking, colony areas identified on maps may each contain one or more colonies of one to many species. In general, colonies on smaller islands are identified by single numbers, although more than one colony may have been present. It was usually possible to identify discreet colonies located on larger islands or on the mainland. The sizes of the colored dots used to locate colony areas on maps also indicate the relative number of birds within colony areas. Many species listed in the catalog, such as Pigeon Guillemots, are not usually colonial, and others, such as Bald Eagles, are not seabirds. Information on these birds has been included because there are few other sources of information on their distribution and abundance and because they frequently depend on habitat or populations of other species found at many colonies. As competitors or predators, they are eco- logically significant elements of the colony. Because numbers of these noncolonial species are given only for the colony areas, populations indicated by the catalog are only small fractions of the numbers that may occur in the regions covered by individual maps. of the area covered; —A- r The Unimak region has not been adequately surveyed, because most shorelines have not been covered, and estimates of population are crude approximations. Islands in the west side of Unimak pass are considered of major importance to birds but have been examined only from the air or on opportunistic surveys from ships en route to Dutch Harbor. Colonies at Avatanak, Rootok, and Kaiigagan islands have colonies of Tufted Puffins numbering respectively 50,000, 100,000, and 375,000 birds. Similar colonies may be present on other islands that have not been examined. Surveys of unimak Island, except for Cape Mordvinof (which may have a large colony), are probably adequate. In addition to the importance of the region for nesting birds, Unimak Passis a major passage area for seabirds and marine mammals migrating from the Gulf of Alaska to the Bering Sea @ Seabird Colonies Map 24 UNLM.A. T 24 UNIMax -- - º -> –(e) These columns refer --- j --- to this colony T - T- 101 - 1,000 1001-10000 toooº-ºooooo O 100001 - 1000000 T º, MAP WAVDEX: | | * * s Gafalog of A/askan Seabird Colonies slºtos Poº" 122 Baird Mrs. | 1.4 *Lawrk 70 69 TYonek ANCHORACE 62 KENAI 50 SEL-DO via "blying sound SUTwik is / *...* 2- ~ Forrester Island, a National Wildlife Refuge, provides habitat for the largest known colonies in - - Southeastern Alaska.

Populations of seabirds on other islands in the group are believed to have been devastated by the introduction of foxes. Amchitka Island has been the site of underground nuclear tests and birds of the island have been studied intensively. The island has several small colonies, but data presented here combines the entire island under one number.

Islands in the west side of Unimak ~ Pass are considered of major importance to birds but have been examined only from the air or on opportunistic surveys from ships en route to Dutch Harbor. Colonies at Avatanak, Rootok, and Kaligagan Islands have colonies of Tufted Puffins numbering respectively 50,000, 100,000, and 375,000 birds. Similar colonies may be present on other islands that have not been examined. Surveys r @ Y Seabird Colonies Map 24 of Unimak Island, except for Cape Mordvinof (which may have a large colony), are probably adequate. § UNIM In addition to the importance of the region for nesting birds, Unimak Pass is a major passage area for A-, 2 s seabirds and marine mammals migrating from the Gulf of Alaska to the Bering Sea and many millions of birds traverse the area seasonally. \ AREA NUMBER AREA NO - - Total - COLONY NAME |NVESTIGATOR SPECIES O2l, OOl O2, 002 || O2, 003 || 02l, OOl.

The area contains huge numbers of many seabird species, including most of the world's population of Red-legged Kittiwakes. More than one million northern fur seals are Seabird Coloni present on this, their largest hauling ground. An intensive effort has been made to census the large ea Olſ O|On IeS colonies on St. George Island. Intensive ecological studies of seabirds have been completed on St. Map 38 Paul, but census data from that island is incomplete. Colonies on Otter and Walrus Islands have not PRIBILOF ISLANDS been studied. A large murre colony was formerly located on Walrus Island, but no longer exists, s perhaps because of the increasing numbers of Steller's sea lions, or the presence of foxes to which L nesting birds would be vulnerable.

These islands offer fox-free nesting habitat without which these colonies could not exist. Additionally, substantial populations of Mew and Sabine's Gulls and Arctic Terns nest as individual pairs or small colonies through the lowland lake region. All data presented here are from aerial surveys.

Only two colonies of seabirds have been located, both consisting of gulls and terns. Estimates of the number of terns may be minimal because data were collected just as egg laying was beginning, and some birds may not have arrived at the colony site. Kittlitz's and Marbled Murrelets are common in the Bay and undoubtedly breed in this area. Additional small colonies of terns and gulls will probably be found by a more complete survey of the area.

Colony locations and species composition are well defined, but population estimates are crude. Estimated numbers of small alcids, puffins, and Pigeon Guillemots are least reliable and may be much higher than reported here. Eagles, falcons, and nocturnal petrels or alcids are probably not present. Larghaseals and a few Stellar's sea lion are present. Hanna (1920) reported 500 walrus hauling out on Hall Island in 1916, but only an occasional sighting is now reported. Polar bears were * St. MATTHEW formerly numerous, but were shot off by the early part of this century.

The noncolonial Kittlitz's and Marbled Murrelets compose a major part of the seabird numbers. The Copper River Delta provides critical habitat for millions of shorebirds and waterfowl, particularly during spring migration. The entire region and particularly the extensive intertidal habitat of the Copper River Delta, is considered to be highly vulnerable to marine pollution such as may occur with an oil spill.

Probably all major colonies have been identified, but much of the data are from brief surveys which provide only crude estimates on populations. The fjords also provide important habitat for the noncolonial Kittlitz's and Marbled Murrelets, thus information provided on colonies does not reflect the full importance of the area to marine birds. Knik and Turnagain Arms of Cook Inlet are of little importance to seabirds. Arctic Terns, Mew Gulls, and waterfowl nest and forage in adjacent marshlands. Sea otters and harbor seals use Prince William Sound extensively but are not found in the turbid waters of Knik and Turnagain Arms.

It is used by large numbers of seabirds, walrus, and several species of whales and seals.

Cliff nesting seabirds are most abundant on the Chamisso Island National Wildlife Seabird Colonies Refuge, south of the Chloris Peninsula. Horned Puffins nesting on Puffin Island, part of the refuge, are unique because a large part of the population nests in burrows, a behavior more typical of the Tufted Map 114 Puffin. This island is highly vulnerable to human disturbance since burrow density is so high s SELAWIK that it is impossible to walk over the island without collapsing burrows.
