Herring Gull eggs from several sites throughout the Great Lakes are monitored on an annual basis for a wide variety of organochlorine and heavy metal contaminants in order to assess the biological damage caused by the presence of persistent pollutants in the environment and to assess the effectiveness of efforts to prevent or reduce contamination by toxic chemicals in the Great Lakes basin. The survey has been ongoing since 1972. 1, record 2, English, - Great%20Lakes%20Herring%20Gull%20Contaminant%20Monitoring%20Program

All seabirds in the northwest Atlantic Ocean migrate, but timing and routes are not well understood. We evaluate existing knowledge on seabird migration with data from the Programme intégré de recherches sur les oiseaux pélagiques(PIROP) data base, using observations of immature and moulting seabirds to track migration of the following species : Northern Fulmar(Fulmarus glacialis), Greater Shearwater(Puffinus gravis), Northern Gannet(Morus bassanus), Herring Gull(Larus argentatus), Iceland Gull(Larus glaucoides), Glaucous Gull(Larus hyperboreus), Great Black-backed Gull(Larus marinus), Black-legged Kittiwake(Rissa tridactyla), and Thick-billed Murre(Uria lomvia). 1, record 5, English, - Programme%20int%C3%A9gr%C3%A9%20de%20recherches%20sur%20les%20oiseaux%20p%C3%A9lagiques
