R.B. Hamilton 1965 Cephus grylle July 27 Barrow Alaska - One bird was observed flying in the ocean. It was all black with white wing patches. No dark line on front in the wingspits. The bird landed in the water and began to dive for food. July 28 In the morning I saw about 20 of this species flying around and landing among the ice floes. July 31 In the afternoon I saw 6 of this species flying and landing on the ocean.
