J Dan Webster
Summer visitant in small numbers. Nests on Hazy Island, 123 nests 25 to 28 July 1982 by Nelson and Lehnhausen (1983) (see also Gibson 1982), and St. Lazaria Island, 120 nests and 130 birds 13 June 1984 by Hanson and me (see Nelson et al 1987). In 1985 I saw three at St Lazaria 19 June but apparently they weren’t nesting. On 20 August 1986 I saw one immature (probably a yearling) on Vitzkari Rock in a flock of the following species.
