Galmne Pacific (Rodger's) Fulmar
1931 Oct. 2 English Bay Priest Rock, Unalaska
Bay-Unalaska Is., Aleutian Is., Alaska
About 2 dozen (chief dark & half white) were seen today just east
of Priest Rock at the S.E. end of
the Unalaska Bay. The water was
only moderately rough and the scatting
birds were evidently feeding.
Oct. 7 Akutan Pass, E. Aleutian Is.
While crossing the rough waters
of the strait today I saw about a
dozon Fulmars among the moderate
(some thousands) flocks of Slender
Billed Shearwaters. I only noticed two
dark colored birds, tho there might
have been more which I could not
distinguish from Shearwaters at
two distance.
Oct. 26 Akutan Pass E. Aleutian Is.
I saw about 2 dozen Fulmars today
while in the middle of the pass. They
seemed to keep well off shore and
follow the general N.W. movement
of the Scattered shearwaters. About
one quarter of the fulmars were.
