Gilmour WHISKERED AUKLET D)
1931 Oct. 2 Between Unalaska and English
Bay (described under Least Auklet)
Oct. 4 Uralga Pass, W. Aleutian Is.
On this foggy morning, as we ran down
the smooth waters of the pass to
Agamzik Bay, we passed thru some
hundred odd of these small Shmoky
Auklets. They were scattered all over
the pass in bunches of from 2-6
and often allowed a close approach
before diving or taking wing, generally
the former.
Sec. 2223-24-25-26 were shot from
the bow of the "Kanaga Native" and re-
trieved with the dory.
Oct. 7. Akutan Pass. E. Aleutians.
Only a few of these birds were seen
while crossing the rough waters of
the pass today.
Oct. 26+31. None seen on these two
day when I crossed Akutan Pass.
