Abstract

Between June 3 and August 22, 1962, I spent a total of 58 days in the southeast arm of Yellowstone Lake in observing the breeding behavior of the pelicans on the Molly Islands. The birds were watched from a canoe anchored near the colonies. In addition, I visited pelicans at their feeding and loafing areas away from the breeding grounds on 11 days. Project Number 118.
