This nest was destroyed by ice in Mid February. It is the same nest as 464. It has not been rebuilt.

This nest fell over to due an ice floe. It was rebuilt on 3/21/15. Almost immediately a male arrived. However 2 more males also arrived and they fought over the nest. A female arrived about a week latter. However there was no nest building activity. They are still there but the nest is a failure.

Male arrived February 19

There appears to be a discrepancy between egg laying and hatching. I am relying on information from another source. There appears to be 2 babies.

This is nest 3 of 4 on the south west part of Knotts Island Bay. There has been a nest in this location for over 35 years.
