Overview
Consists of bird observation returns sent by A. Hansen while based at Cape Campbell. Two original returns (fire damaged) are included as well as later typed transcripts recording the same information. The fire damaged original sheets indicate that these documents are likely to have been part of the Marine Departments records which were extensively damaged in The Hope Gibbons fire. It is also possible that these papers were acquired by Robert Falla as part of his research
