An adult male attend- ing a young bird was collected on August 16, 1944, ten miles off Cape Henrietta Maria by R. H. Smith of the United States Fish and Wildlife Service, and is in the (Baillie, 1961). Five were observed at the Cape between July 20 and 25, 1947 (Manning, 1952), and a number were seen and a few including downy young, collected by the 1948 field party (Hope, 1948). Lumsden (1957a) noted two at Nes- kamagige on July 15 and two at Manchuinagush (Island) on July 16, 1957. This species was seen and collected near radar site 416 in August, 1968 (Young, pers. com.), and observed in July, 1969 at radar site 415 (O'Reilly, 1969). Nesting of the Arctic Loon in the Cape region was confirmed with our finding of the first observed nests, six in all, each with two eggs, between June 23 and July 2, 1970, in the immediate vicinity of radar site 416 at 54°47'N and 82°22'W (Peck, 1970b). We noted pairs daily between June 22 and July 4 and most of the larger lakes had a pair present. All six of the nests we found were within two miles of each other. Photographs were taken of three of the nests and an incubating adult (see Figure 3). Red-throated Loon. Gavia stellata. Five were ob- served and two were collected by the 1948 field party (Hope, 1948). From July 13-14, 1957, three were seen at Neskamagige (Lumsden, 1957a). The status of this bird as a breeding species in the Caps region was established by D. W. Simkin of the. Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page ima
