Seabirds of the southeastern Beaufort Sea : aircraft and group observations in 1972 and 1974 / Gary F. Searing [and three others].: En3-6/3-2E-PDF

"Data on the distribution and movements of seabirds and other birds in the southeastern Beaufort Sea area were gathered during 1972 and 1974. Data collected during offshore aerial surveys conducted over the Beaufort Sea during 1974 were analysed in relation to ice-cover conditions; the results of such analyses indicated the distributions and movements of birds offshore during a year of above-average ice cover. It was found that the distributions of most species are related to the amount of ice cover present and that birds generally prefer areas of at least partly open water. Maps of species distributions and abundances in relation to ice-cover conditions were prepared for offshore areas"--Summary.
