Two pairs had an egg & one pair a very young chick.
Before making such conclusions I must add that today (Jan.14) Reid
radioed that they had found a shrug
& had already counted 120 nests on top
of the Cape at Adae. So make I should
quit. However it seemed to me at the
time that the shrugs were nesting on
the billecks below 200-250 meters
in sparse numbers. I thought we
might have gotten at least 1/4 of
two percent or make a 1/3. We covered
1/2 to 2/3 of the cliff not inhabited by
penguins. Scanning the cliffs at penguins
failed to show any areas at slens
dropping. But these might not show
from a distance on the rock out crops
they picked. Briane recent Camp reports
all this however.
