Glaucon-winged Gull nests were also common on this smaller island:

11 nests
There was a small patch of turf on a high point on the east end of the connecting ismus that also had a few gull nests:
Nests with: 3 eggs - 2
1 dead young- 1
3 nests
This adds up to 42 gull nests found. It appears that nesting here is a little ahead of the nest area south of Newcamp. Ten nests had one or more young & 7 more were recently active & presumably already fledged their young. Several (& perhaps all) of the 1 egg nests had already fledged their young as evidenced by broken egg shells in the proximity of the nest.
