Least auklets on St Paul should be in the process of hatching chicks by now. They generally lay eggs in the first weeks of June, with an incubation period of roughly one month. Although we don't directly monitor the productivity of least auklets on this island, we will be collecting a handful of diet samples from parent birds returning to their chicks towards the end of July.
