They mi- grated past Cape Peirce in spring (peak migration rate of 260 birds per hour on 2 May 1973) and may migrate along the coast in late fall. J. G. King (unpublished) saw more than 10,000 pelagic cormorants near Hagemeis- ter Island on 30 April 1974. Generally, migration along the coast occurred from 28 April to 1 June; however, D. I. Eisenhauer (personal communica- tion) found birds in Chagvan Bay on 18 April 1973- Birds nested on all suitable coastal cliffs (Fig. 12) from the Beluga Peaks in Goodnews Bay to the Walrus Islands. The following are breeding population estimates (from Sowls et al. [1978] except as noted): Big Beluga, 420 pairs (DNW photo); Little Beluga, 30 pairs (DNW photo); Cape Peirce, 350 pairs (nest, eggs, MHD photo; nest, young, MRP photo); Shaiak Island, 50 pairs (MHD photo; MRP photo); Hagemeister Island, 345 pairs; Walrus Islands, 9,780.
