Winter distributions of thick-billed murres from the eastern Canadian Arctic and western Greenland in relation to age and time of year / Garry M. Donaldson ... [et al.].: CW69-1/96E-PDF

"Thick-billed Murres Uria lomvia from colonies in the eastern Canadian Arctic and West Greenland winter in large numbers off the coast of Newfoundland, where they are subjected to heavy hunting pressure. Some of these colonies, especially in Greenland, have declined over the past 50 years, and this has raised concerns over the effects of current harvest levels in Newfoundland. We analyzed the recoveries of birds banded at Canadian and Greenland colonies to determine where and when birds of different ages and from different colonies were killed"--Abstract.
