This paper highlights the results of a three-day expedition to circumnavigate the largest islands and islets of the Carey Island group to document the Population and breeding status of all avian species. Sixteen species were observed, with ten documented breeding. Of particular interest to the avian record of the region is the first documented observation of White-fronted Geese on the Carey Islands and the large number of breeding of Brain Geese.
