Bill Arvey journal. July 31 Pt. Lobos, The dividing line between Brants and pelagic nests is not sharp because pelagic and Brants' nests may be close together. The determining factor I believe is the precariousness of nest site position. Two pelagic nests are seen with dead young. 1 has a dead young and a live healthy on living on top of the dried carcass. This one didn't die too long ago as judged by its stage of development. In the other are probably 2 dried carcasses with a clutch of 3 eggs, laid on top of the bodies. They are unattended however. That pelagic young do fall from nests is evidenced by our seeing a young pelagic trying to get back up to its nest from a lower position to which it fell. It does not seem possible for it to do so and the parents have ignored it up to now. I doubt if it is being fed. Pigeon guillemots are nesting on the rock and can be seen entering nests with small fish in beaks.
