Sabines Gull (Xema sabini) # Obs. Track Nontrack Total 3 0 3 0 0 0 + 0 0 The fourth and fifth sightings of Common - Arctic - Forster's type on the Grid. The bird on 20 July did not appear to be Forsters and I believe Forsters is the least likely possibility for all four sightings. My feel- ing is that these are all probably Arctics.

The unidenified Columbid seen on 20 July was possibly of this species, and not inconceivably the same individual that was collected. Long-eared Owl (Asio otus) # Obs. = 1 Collected 0 0 0 0 + 0
