PELAGIC CORMORANT (4)
Unalaska, Unalaska Is., Aleutians.
Sept. 18 Today I saw several cormorants
in the Bay just across from Dutch
Harbor. They all (40'S) appeared to
be immatures and are the first I
have seen since coming here on the
3rd.
Sept. 22 Unalaska - seems to be getting more
common - at least I am noticing more.
Sept. 25 - Unalaska I saw a dozen
or so of these birds while cruising
around in the N.W. part of the
bay in Olson's 24' fishing boat.
There seemed to be two kinds when
I had them in the hand, but
could not separate them in life.
They are curious birds, often flying
about over the boat in broad
circles to investigate the intrusion.
Oct. 1, Unalaska I saw a half dozen
or so sitting on the rocks in the
ruts between here & Summer's Bay.
They are very wary and do not generally
look twice before flapping
away.
Oct. 2. Between Unalaska & English
Bay - all dozen or so were seen on the trip.
