Waterbird surveys of McKinley Bay, Northwest Territories, 1982 / by Beth J. Cornish and D. Lynne Allen. : CW66-727/1983E-PDF
"In anticipation of development of a medium draft harbour in McKinley Bay to support future oil and gas production in the Beaufort Sea, a study to monitor the abundance and distribution of birds in McKinley Bay was initiated in 1981 (Scott-Brown et al. 1981). In order to obtain information on the natural year to year fluctuations in the number of birds that use McKinley Bay, the three aerial surveys that were done in 1981 were repeated in 1982. Hutchison Bay was added to the study as a control. Additional surveys by helicopter, boat and foot were done in 1982 to facilitate interpretation of the results of the aerial surveys. More specifically, these additional surveys were intended to determine the species composition of birds in McKinley Bay, the timing of the moult of diving ducks in the bay, and the effect of tides, wind or time of day on the distribution of ducks in the bay"--Summary, page i.
