Monitoring northern fulmars in the Canadian Arctic : plot locations and counts at selected colonies / M.L. Mallory and A.J. Gaston.: CW69-5/432E-PDF
"The Northem Fulmar (Fulmarus glacialis) is a common seabird found across marine areas of eastem Nunavut. It breeds at colonies located on cliffs >250 m high, most of which drop directly into the ocean, and which are often in remote, inaccessible locations. As well, many fulmars are dark and difficult to spot against the rock of the region, meaning that censusing fulmar colonies is difficult. For these reasons, our knowledge of fulmar populations in Arctic Canada is coarse. Here we present photographic and geo-referenced data of colony censuses and plot counts for fulmars at six large colonies in Nunavut, as a baseline for long-term monitoring of these important sites"--Abstract, p. 3.
