Gilmore BLACK OYSTER-CATCHER
1931 MAY 24 Solgai Harbor Solgai I., Alaska.
I saw several of these birds along the
rocky beach. They were quite wary.
Sept. 19. Unalaska Unalaska I., Aleutian
Is., Alaska. Have not seen any here
as yet but they are reported to be
"common" at Raven Bay on the
South side of the island. From Paul
McLarson of Akutan Is. I learned
that they are quite common on the
islands east of here (Unalaska).
