"This CBC program presents tourism films. On this program, the presentations are BEAUTIFUL BONNE BAY and NEWFOUNDLAND SEA BIRDS, both made by Lee Wulff Productions for the Province of Newfoundland. [...] NEWFOUNDLAND SEA BIRDS is a 1961 film about the bird life on Green Island, 20 miles south of St. John's, Newfoundland. The island is a favourite homing place for sea birds such as gulls, kittiwakes, murres, puffins and terns. The waterfowl swarm the cliffs and the sky.
