NAM Verbeek 1966 Larus hyperboreus (1) June 3 I observed a group of some 50 of these large gulls as the congregated on a trail left behind by a snow-cat. They all appeared to be adult birds (90% adult) and I noted quite a bit of display among them, such as the "long call". Steve says they hang around all year and do not breed. June 4. The gulls seem to have their favored areas where they congregate. One of these is behind the houses south of town and an other is on the frozen ocean west of Town. They sit out there is small noise brush. Where they actually feed I do not know, but garbage is probably important. 10 June. There are distinctly less gulls around at the moment. 15 June Saw only two gulls to-day 23 June On South Salt lagoon I saw about 40 Glaucous Gulls resting along the beach. 6 July About a dozen birds feeding in Central Marsh in company of 6 Parasitic Jaegers. 9 July About 40-50 birds feeding in Central Marsh. Wonder what they are feeding on. 18 July. Noticed 9 gulls roosting on the S. shore of Wohlschlag Slough on a gravel bar (23:00). 26 July At Meade River there are about 3 or four birds flying over the tundra around our camp. 31 July There are at least 50 gulls feeding on caribou remains left behind after the animals were shinned out yesterday. Without the presence of this hunting camp, there would probably be few gulls.
