Views added to leave the island in the Bayline, then, the number of juveniles for the island would be ca. 369 birds. I will test a few more compact groups before deciding what I am leaving the island. A naked chick & small downy was found in no nest. 27 Oct. collected barf samples from 10 large feathered young today as follows: ① 72.4 ② 79.3 ③ 45.3 ④ 91.5 ⑤ 42.6 ⑥ 59.4 ⑦ 47.0 ⑧ 31.7 ⑨ 65.8 ⑩ 54.7 589.7 100% Scombrids 30% Squid, 80% Scombrids 70% Squid, 30% Scombrids 100% Squid 20% Squid, 80% Scombrids 100% Squid 100% Squid 30% Squid, 70% Scombrids 100% Squid
