Jornich 1953 Larus hyperboreas May 17 Point Barrow, Alaska - Two at 5:43 a.m. in flight over the drum area and moving steadily toward Barrow Village, uttering occasional somewhat goose-like squawks. The birds were high and dimly outlined against the low overcast. In midmor- ing I heard these sounds again but seem- ingly localized toward Barrow Village. May 19 One flew S.W. over the base at 8:20 p.m., off the sea ice. These birds are reported feeding off whale remains along the lead in front of the Village area. May 20 One at 2:50 p.m. flying from sea ice at base toward Barrow Village, several hundred feet in the air as were the other ones I have seen. Five at 6:40 p.m. wheeling and flying out over the sea ice north of the base, two couples and a single, with considerable calling. May 21 Occasional single birds or 2 or 3 together out over the ice this morning. Between 8 and 11 p.m. on a trip to the lead I saw occasional birds which seemed to be this species. May 22 At 9:30 a.m. 6 or 8 at the garbage dump just out on the ice past the theatre.
