SURF SCOTER Melanitta perspicillata
May 16 Carter Bay - Finlayson Channel. B.C.
One flock took wing as we anchored-
showed no white wing patches, like
M. deglandi, as they flew.
May 18- Clarence Strait. Saw one flock
of 8-9 birds.
Oct. 3 English Bay, N. Unalaska Is.,
N. Aleutian Is. I saw a pair of
these birds today in the middle
of the bay. The white patch on
the crown of the S was clearly
visible.
Oct. 25. Akutan Is., E. Aleutian Aleutian Is.
None seen here - evidently these
birds are rather scarce.
