Gilmore PRIBILOF SNOW BUNTING (2)
1931 Oct. 25. Akutan Bay, Akutan Is., E. Aleutians
Here at Akutan I wandered about
the hills many days before I saw
any and then I encountered a flock
of 8-12 on the side of a rocky ridge
of gentle slope. The birds in full
white plumage of brown, black and
white were resting on or around a
small boulder. The unity of the group
gave me the impression of a migrating
group, resting after a long flight.
Spec. 2290 came from the group.
