Gilmore ALEUTIAN SAVANNAH SPARROW © 1931 by flight. Their flights are short jerky affairs and they rarely stay perched on one perch very long. In short their whole action complex is very nervous. Sept 11 (Same) Nos. 2084, 85 were infested with tape worms (perhaps round worms). Saw several flocks of 8-10 on the ridges. These flocks seemed to be merely flying about for sport and not feeding. At some unknown cause they would suddenly take wing and dart off down the mountain side in a breath taking zig- zagging drop, continuing toward the bottom of the canyon until they were lost to sight. Sept. 18 Have found them very common along the beach between here on Simmie's Bay; In fact, their center of abundance seems to be along the beach where high grassy flats come lie right behind. There seems to be juveniles and immatures in the flocks. Perhaps they nest more than once a season! Oct. 1 (Same locality, Alaska). These sparrows are still quite plentiful, especially around the end of town.
