Gilmore St. Michael Horned Owl
1931
Mr. Kugler, here at the Pacific Amer-
ican Whaling Station of Akutan Bay,
Akutan Is., relates the following: In
the fall of 1929 three owls,
"larger than ravens" hung around
the buildings of the station for about
a week. They flew close about him
in the dusk of evening and uttered
no sounds. He shot one but was
not able to locate the body the
next morning.
Perhaps they were Great Gray Owls
