Journal 88 R.E. Johnson 1968 June 13 Anduitka Island, Alaska (cont.) Glaucon-winged Gull nests were also common on this smaller island: Nests with: 1 egg 1 2 eggs 1 3 eggs 5 1 young- 0 2 young 1 3 young- 0 1 dead young 1 1 egg, 1 young 1 1 dead + 1 live young 1 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. Food items noted around the gull nests
