Gilmore BALD EAGLE (3) 1931 Sept. 19 Unalaska (cnt.) I saw 98 egles today in a long walk over the mountains & Summers Bay. Some were in very ragged plumage. There is a huge rock some 75-100 ft. high standing in the surf at the west end of Summers Bay and from all appearances it seems to be the nesting site for a pair of eagles. I saw two perched on the round, 4' diameter, grassy top so I walked by there today. Oct. 4. Agamak Bay, N. Unalaska Is. Three adults were seen along the rocky cliffs at the north entrance to the bay. Yesterday in English Bay I noticed a pair of immatures loitering about the head of the bay. Oct. 25. Akutan Bay, Akutan Is.; E. Aleutians Sporadic in numbers around the hills & mountains in the vicinity. Generally seen along the rocky cliffs of the beach, or above the nearby peaks. Mostly immatures.
