Book excerpt: Excerpt from Contributions to the Natural History of Alaska, Vol. 2: Results of Investigations Made Chiefly in the Yukon District and the Aleutian Islands; Conducted Under the Auspices of the Signal Service, United States Army, Extending From May, 1874, to August, 1881 The gulls and ravens prefer the shingly beach or sands, and carefully scan the surface for a scrap of anything fit or not fit for food. The former sedate and often of solemn mood, the reverse of the wary raven ever on the alert for a trap in which his foot may be caught, for they frequently walk along and instantly jump as though something had exploded directly under it, yet continue its fantastic actions for hours. The snipe and kindred birds seek the more marshy places, where they abound in their season. But few species of the waders remain in the Aleutian Islands and none in the northern portions of the Territory during the winter. The ducks and geese are widely distributed, and in a great measure modified for the time being by their surroundings in each locality.

The Pribylof Group, Saint Mathew's Island and Saint Lawrence Island are also great breeding places of these Puffins. Their nests are placed on the ledges of the highest cliffs of those islands where foxes are found, and on islands where foxes are not found these birds breed generally at the bases of bluffs, under the large rocks which have become detached and fallen down. Their nest is composed of just whatever happens to be there, be it sticks, stones, or earth. A few feathers may be dropped from the bird, but not for an evident purpose of nest construction. A single egg of clear white color is laid on the bare gravel or earth. The egg is very large for the size of the bird, and when cooked is tolerable eating. The bird sits long at a time on the egg, and does not leave it until hunger compels her to seek food. Their food is composed of mollusks of various kinds, a few shreds of certain sea-weed fronds, and larvse, which are abundant on some of these sea-weeds. The young leave the nest before being able to tiy. The parent assists them to the water; and, should they have been reared on the face of a high bluff, the old bird catches the young one by the wing and they flutter at a long angle to the water. The old bird endeavors to keep under the young one. I have seen them drop their young accidentally and cause great consternation of the parent, which could'not check her flight immediately, but returned and showed great solicitude by turning the young one over and over in the water to see if it was injured. During severe storms the young are taken to the lee of some reef or islet until the waves become quiet. Early in the morning these birds quit the shores and go out to sea to hunt their food. Late in the afternoon they return....
