Loss from desertion was 4%, and involved five Canada goose nests. In two instances some of the eggs in a nest were destroyed and the remainder were then deserted. Three complete clutches were abandoned. In one instance the cause of desertion was undetermined and it was possible that nest hunting was the cause. Activity by visiting photographers and the operation of a dragline caused the other two desertions.
