Subject: Jeffries Island


This is further to the discussion(Blake/Hans) re the name of the island =
at the entrance to Duncan's Cove. I went to the coast guard base at =
Sambro and discussed this matter with three coast guard personnel. There =
is no marine chart name for the island but they did some research and =
phoned me back this afternoon. The name of the island is Jeffries =
Island.

This name is of some importance to the rare bird community since the =
island itself and the surrounding water are teaming with sea birds, =
especially in the winter. A visit around the island in the summer to =
search for nesting birds such as alcids and petrels is also a good plan. =
Making landfall on the island is extremely dangerous!
