Gilmore NORTHERN RAVEN 4
1931
sence is due perhaps to the almost
daily visits of bombing parties of
sailors from the cutter who consider
the ravens fair game. Under such
conditions it wouldn't take long for
the ravens to "get out & stay out."
Sept. 18 Ravens still quite plentiful -
noticed from sea level to the tops
of the highest peaks. Their loud
"cawing" may be heard for miles.
They also have a harsh "coughing" note
which I have, them utter only when
perched near a congrega. Companion!
Immatures seems far outnumber
the adults.
Ravens were seen occasionally in
English Bay on Oct 3, and in Ayangik
Bay on Oct. 4.
Oct 12 Akutan, Akutan Is., N. Aleutian Is.
Ravens are Common about this bay,
especially around the rocky cliffs
and the whaling Station where Mr.
Kugler, the mgr., states that he has
killed up as high as 200 in one
season.
