Nov.29 did seem less crowded than the last
time. This may be due to the fact that we
broke up some pairs by collecting 4 birds
then + also to the departure of some more
breeding birds. Brian says there are
no birds in taped end of shrubbery; however I did notice a pair defending nest.
there when we were descending, but that part
of shrubbery probably held less than I thought
it did last time + the map scaled from
that trap should be adjusted accordingly.
The birds over here are depending
on Wilson's Petrel + Snow Petrel for
food. Chiefly the former, as judged
by the remains observed about
the nests. We did see one pork chop
bone indicating that they savange
over by the base + also a few
penguin remains.
Several pairs are located along the
top of the cliff. We saw perhaps
3 pairs each with one or more scrape
but no egg in the section we covered.
Birds were seen flying along close to
cliff face pathway down. No reason why
they couldn't nest there also (though)
we saw no sign that they did.
