Up to 40 Arctic Terns seen harassing a juvenile Great Black-backed Gull above an area with vegetation among the beach stones where nests/young were found (43.571381, -65.320485). Up to about 10 Arctic Terns seen landing. We did a very brief walk through of the colony and found 2 nests with 1 egg (one of which was broken). Four large chicks (more than 2 weeks old) and two small chicks (1-2 weeks old) were found and could not be associated with a nest.
