....Trip Report: Greenland, June 21 - July 28, 1997 by Antti Below.

Here is a short report about the trip I made to NE-Greenland in summer 1997. The exact place was Traill Island (72°30'N). Our international group (8 persons) made actually different kinds of studies on mammals, and the observations below were made mainly by us Finns (undersigned and Mr. Paavo Hellstedt).

European Endemics and Specialities

in Greenland

Information on endemics and specialities is derived from Sibley & Monroe checklists and bird distribution lists in Thayer's Birder's Diary - Version 2.5. Speciality birds, while not endemic, are those that can only be found in three or less countries of Europe. Species printed in bold italic have only been sighted in Greenland. Information on endangered birds is derived from the IUCN Red List, Birdlife International, and supporting data bases developed by Ian Patton, of Merlin Species Watcher. The endemic, endangered and speciality birds may be uncommon, extremely rare vagrants, may be extirpated in the country now or may only be present in migration. However, documented sightings of each species noted below have been made in Greenland.
