Abstract
From 2007-2014, pre-breeding common eiders were captured in flight nets when arriving and flying over Mitivik Island, Nunavut, banded, sexed and measured. Cloacal and oral samples were collected for detection of current Pasteurella multocida infection, and blood samples were collected for detection of antibodies to this bacterium.
