You are likely right, Bob. I went through my old Queen Charlotte Islands records and
lo and behold, there was a spring record of a kittiwake perched on a rock at the
south end of the chain. Had completely forgotten about that one. Mike Force will
be inport off the NOAA ship MacArthur in a couple of weeks. I'll get his opinion
on this question then post back.
