J M Johnston 1948 Marbled Murrelet- 18 Aug. (can't) descending, wheezing whistle that lasted one sec. and duration. These were giving their whistle fre- quently when they would surface, but I have heard them whistle while flying. They have in the past week shown a change in color in some of the individuals. The white of the belly and underpart of the tail has been ex-[illegible] extended farther on the sides and over the throat and sides of the neck. This white is clean looking. 20 Aug. Hollis Bay, Alaska Channel NE side Harborland The sea was dead calm today. One murrelet when taking off, planed its body along the surface for about six feet before lifting into the air. It used its feet to paddle as well as its wings. Once in the air it did not bounce onto the water.
