Hi all,
    last Saturday a friend and I kayaked to Inner Sambro Island, 
recently purchased from a private owner by the province. It's a very 
interesting (and easy) place to visit, well-known to local boaters. 
There are at least two sheltered sandy beaches to land on. The island is 
a joy to explore on foot, as most of it is covered only by a typical 
coastal barren vegetation, with only a small grove of white spruce trees.
    Do any seabirds breed on the island?  I've received only a highly 
improbable  report of "skua/black gull."  More likely a not-unexpected 
sighting of immature herring gull or greater black-backed gull..
