Gilmore The Unalaska Winter When
1931 May 31 Unalaska, Unalaska Is., Alaska.
One dessicated carcass seen - it was
picked up in cave. None others seen.
Sept. 18 Have found these tiny
wrens only along the rocky beaches.
They seem to be quite at home on
the large boulders in the surf or
among the piles of beach debris
nearby. Quite scarce.
Sept. 19 At the base of the crumbling
cliffs at the west entrance, to Summer's
Bay and next to the pounding surf
I found a half a dozen of these birds
flitting about the rocks & beach debris.
They furiously flew from rock to plank
to boulder, and at my approach took
refuges in any bit of dense vegetation
at the base of the cliff.
Sept. 22 Unalaska. Saw only 5 today
on my walk 8+ from Summer's Bay.
They were generally in pairs. I have not
to get heard any note.
Oct. 9 Akutan, Akutan Is., K. Alutun Is.
Saw but one chummy my walk along
the rocky beach but was not able to
secure it.
