Drove west past site C & hiked 1/2 mile or so to the Bering Sea where Christy Turner (Archaeologist) had told us he had seen a cormorant colony (location is 0.6 mi wt 1.5 mi. n. of Site C). A rock bluff extends out into the water at this point. The following species were seen: Peregrine Falcon - pair flying & calling over head strongly suggesting a nest was present among the cliffs.
