The Canada Goose present in the area appears to be Branta canadensis interior. One hundred forty-six stomach and crop contents of 15 species of birds were examined. Dominant food items for pelagic feeding birds such as Northern Fulmars Fulmarus glacialis and Black-legged Kittiwakes Rissa tridactyla were the pteropod Spiratella helicina and the squid Gonatus fabricii. The most common alcid Cepphus grylle, appears to feed mainly on pelagic fish larvae.
