494 Gilmore ALUTIAN TERN 1931 July 5 Nome, Alaska On this day Capt. Jones & Lieut. Comm. Bradbury saw 4 of these birds close to the boat as it was anchored off Nome. They were on the lookout for terns with black bills & white foreheads & the identifications was made through exceptionally fine glasses. They are reliable Observers and their sight record should stand. Aug. 24, Point Hope Alaska. While boarding the boat today a tern flew close by and the white forehead was unmistakable. I did not notice the color of the bill.
