408 Gilmore AMERICAN SCOTAR 1931 Oct. 2. ENGLISH BAR, W. Uralaska Is., Alutuani Is., Alaska. Here today I positively saw my first flock of American Scotars. A flock of 15-20 passed seaward by the boat as we were about in the center of the bay. The dull uniform black body & head, and the yellow spot on the bill were noticeable. Oct. 24. Alkm Straits, E. Alutuani Is. Several flocks of 15-20 birds were seen in the straits today. They hung out in the areas of open water at least a quarter of a mile from land and were very wary. In flight they appeared identical with the White Winged Scotar save that there was no white whatever on the plumage.
