birds and most of the males had the white hair-like feathers on the necks. The non-breeders had no white flank patches. While on the nest the cormorants kept uttering an unusually mournful groan- ing sound and might be very easily mistaken for some one in pain. The ests were compactly built of moss gathered near by and not seaweed. The Tufted Puffins were resting in the crevices in the rocks along with the Pigeon Guillemots. One pair of Horned Puffins were secured but they were the only ones seen. A pair of Parasitic Jaegers kept chasing a Duckhawk about the island. A Least Sandpiper was secured at a little pool and Townsend Sparrows were breeding. Hermit Thrushes were common as were Savanna Sparrows. One pair of Barn Swallows were seen. No indication of mammals were in evidence at all.
