Gilmore Pacific Eider D 1931 June 28 Camp Collier St. Lawrence Is., Bering Sea, Alaska Spec. No. 1684 had in its crop 45 "feet" of clams. It appeared that the bird had pulled off the "feet" as it attempted to get the whole clam out of the shell. In this vicinity the beach is low & sandy & the birds are generally within a quarter mile of shore & even sub found sitting on the ice along the beach. When flushed they almost invariably fly up & over the tundra back from the shore perhaps to their nests. Most of them have paired off or two males are seen competing for a female but once I saw one D with 3 Ps, and again 6 Ps Together. When frightened they never seen dive but take wing. However, when wounded they are expert divers and come to the surface with heads low on the water & backs just barely awash, thus making a difficult target to shoot at.
