Appendix A. View of the main nesting area at the Shoup Bay Black-legged Kittiwake (Rissa tridactyla) colony at Prince William Sound, Alaska. Most of the kittiwakes pictured are on cliff nests. The colony is situated on a rock island that emerged from beneath a receding tidewater glacier. Glaucous-winged Gulls (Larus glaucescens), also pictured, nest and roost on the top of the island.
