April 16 1907, On our way from Juneau to Windfall Harbor we saw several whales. They came up to blow about once in two minutes. The spout was high, straight and distinct. The largest of the three curved its back higher than the others as it went under after blowing. The dorsal fin was straight on the front edge and distinctly incurred on the back edge. It was situated well back, but as I did not see the flukes I can't say what the propor- tions were. Probably these were Oregon Finback Whales. 20th. Windfall Harbor, Alaska A female Pine Siskin (Spinus pinus) shot today had already incubated, Siskins are rather common here, perhaps the most abundant land bird. There are not many species of birds about, and some of these are represented by very few individuals. Siskins seem to feed somewhat along the beach, but their crops are full of something white that looks like finely broken pine seeds.
