P. De Benedicts 1965 Gavia adamsi: 25 June Barrow, Alaska - a bird flying E over the Uoth area silently was clearly this species as both the yellows, loft turned bill & neckbeards were seen. It seems to flap its wings slower than arctica. Two loons together giving a series of duck-like calls (cackling) were seen at close range but due to the bill movement I could not be sure if they were also this species; they flew similarly. One seen later called similarly but flapped a little faster and may have been arctica; in any case they are the 1st vocal loons I have seen here. 4 July One seen flying silently W over (North) Blye about noon. 6 July Two seen flying separately east (one) & west (one) over the N part of Holmes' Mears. They were silent 7 July A loon giving a series of long cackling notes -- appeared to be this on the basis of its dark back and slow wing beat. 16 July A group of 3, with a Red-thr., and 2 alone, flew silently over Holmes' Mears to Elson Bayort then South (east) with out landing. The head appeared green & the bill stood out markedly. Gavia adamsii
