Melanitta perspicillata
Aug. 1 Point Barrow, Alaska
Pete Sovalik brought in a ot shot near Barrow
Village a few days ago. Weight 1049gm. I
started to skin the bird but discarded it when
I pulled the head off. Bill Thompson kept the
shell. The bird had only light to moderate
fat on it. It is the only one I have observed.
