On Moro Island there were about 50nests of Least Terns, and possibly 12 of theBlack Skimmer on the bar at the north endof the Island. Most of these were destroyedby high water. Also one nest each of WardsHeron, Black-crowned Night Heron, andBlack Vulture were found on the high partof the Island. On a bar just north of ThreeIslands I found a colony of Black Skimmerswith sixty-odd nests, with eggs and manyready for eggs, but the entire colony was sub-merged and destroyed by high water later.Deer Island, on which a large colony ofGulls and Terns nested last year, was entirelyunder water and I rode over it in myboat. I visited a great deal of the surroundingcountry and Islands, as far north as TopoBay, but was unable to find any otherrookeries or to find any Spoonbills or Pelicansbreeding.

A few of the bravestones would leave the raft and swim toward the blind, then, becoming suspicious,they would return to their more timid companions.
