Uria sp.
Aug 3 Cap Thompson. Five Thousand at least were seen
fly back and forth from the murres colony. Even
when they are quite close, it is difficult to determine
the species. Murres are always passing the camp
and it would probably be impossible to look
to the horizon at my turn and not see any Murres
4. At least 5000 were seen. I have no idea how many
murres inhabit the colony. Murres can be found resting
on suitable ledges on the cliffs W of camp.
