Cascade Head 2 Arches Point 073.1

Activity has been seen since 2012 in the Fish & Wildlife Service seabird nesting area 073.1 north of Pinacle Cove on Cascade Head, east of 2 Arches Rock. In 2015 the BLOY nest was monitored, chick(s) hatched and fed out of sight but no apparent fledging. No activity was noted in 2016.

In 2017, nesting began but a pair of eagles took up residence on top of the nest rock. The BLOY left.
