Abstract

This report presents results of the first complete survey of marine birds of Puget Sound and adjacent waters. Observations of marine birds in the area date back to 1792, when breeding Pigeon Guillemots were found by Menzies (Newcombe 1923). Since that time, there have been observations and studies at localized sites, with results of these appearing in theses and dissertations, ornithological journals, Jewett et al. (1953), and Dawson and Bowles (1909). However, no complete surveys have been conducted.
