We studied various aspects of the breeding biology of king eiders (Somateria spectabilis) nesting at Karrak Lake, south of Queen Maud Gulf in the central Canadian Arctic. We found 41 nests distributed among 10 islands in Karrak Lake; to our knowledge, this represents the largest number of king eider nests studied at one site. We suspect that island nesting by king eiders is more common than has been previously reported. King eiders favoured mid-sized islands (0.002-0.081 km²) over very small (less than 0.002 km²) or very large (greater than 0.081 km²) islands. Mean clutch size was 5.4 ±1.7 (SD) eggs. Apparent nest success was 69.4% with a composite Mayfield estimate of nest success over egg laying and incubation of 48.7% (95% CI: 47.4-50.0%...
