Bird surveys at McKinley Bay and Hutchison Bay, Northwest Territories, in 1991 / by Beth J. Cornish, D. Lynne Dickson and H. Loney Dickson.: CW69-5/147E-PDF

"Aerial surveys for bird abundance and distribution were conducted in August 1991 at McKinley Bay, NWT. This bay is the site of a winter harbour for drillships and proposed location for a major year-round· support base for oil and gas exploration in the Beaufort Sea. The 1991 surveys represented the continuation of a long-term monitoring study of birds in McKinley Bay and Hutchison Bay, a nearby area used as a control. The primary objectives of the 1991 surveys were to expand the set of baseline data on natural annual fluctuations in diving duck numbers, and to determine if numbers of diving ducks had changed since the initial set of surveys, from 1981 to 1985"--Abstract, p. i.
