Olivier, personal communication). This is by far the largest lake in the Sudbury region (13 131 ha). In an attempt to verify these observa- tions and determine whether breeding had occurred, a low-level flight by float plane was made on 25 October 1999 over the shoals and islands. Definitive remains of at least 14 cormorant nests were observed on one of the small unnamed islands (46°43'20"N, 80°40'50"W) (DVW and L. Shutt, Canadian Wildlife Service, personal observation). (C) Neither CB nor other SOS members noted any summer resident cormorants ( cormorants that appeared to have taken up extended daily residence) on Kelley Lake from 1972 to 1986. despite an annual average of visits by CB alone (with a minimum of two visits in 1977 and a maximum of 29 in 1980). The first summer resident cormorants were reported on Kelley Lake in 1987 (Figures 1 and 2). From 1987 to 1999, the reported cormorant numbers on Kelley Lake fluctuated from 1 to 103; birds were reported there in all months from 8 April to 4 October. Breeding began there in 1996 with two nests containing five eggs (12 June) and was the first known nesting for the Sudbury. Please note that these images are extracted from scanned
