With the tasks of camp setup behind us, weeks three and four of the LBCS 2016 field season have seen the continuation of many core projects, as well as the arrival of new visitors to the camp on East Limestone Island (ELI). Monitoring for chicks in Cassin’s Auklet burrows has begun and the season’s first sea surveys have taken place. In addition, the end of the school year marks the beginning of the schools from around Haida Gwaii making their year-end trips to visit ELI and to assist with the Ancient Murrelet monitoring. Here are some project highlights from the past two weeks.
