Pigeon Hawk
[illegible]
Oct. 3. English Bay, W. Unalaska Is.,
N. Aleutian Is., Alaska. Today I
got three shots at one, and that the
military reception was mighty hot it
obviously wasn't lethal. I was standing
in some beached kelp at the shallow
head of the bay when Mr. Falcon
came flying low along the shore thru
a flock of seagulls whom he did not
wholist. After one shot he circled
back and two long range shots only
served to definitely make up his mind
to get out and stay out.
The Aleuts at the berraberi say
that they see one every so often.
See duck! Stale!!
