Gilmas 1931 RED TAILED HAWK Buteo borealis May 31 Unalaska, Unalaska Is. Alaska Several pairs seen in the hills. Very light colored. Sept. 6 Unalaska, Unalaska Is., Aleutians. In the hills above Captain's Harbor, I saw several of these hawks. They soared or hovered over the hill tops in a stiff west wind. They uttered no sound. Sept. 19 Saw one about noon on the penile ridge west of Needle Peak. It was evidently curious to see just what I was for it appeared from nowhere and soared 50-60 yards over my head until a load of buckshot changed its mind. These hawks seem to be quite scarce this fall, perhaps the sailors from the cutters have taken toll of the population.
