Harbor the violet-green cormorants are common but shy.

Saw a number of Passerculus sandwichensis and one M. insignis Also a single ♂ mallard in a small fresh water pool which with a single Bald Eagle were the only birds I identified. The chief of the island then tells me that the Ravens already have young and that the Titlarks which are common here, have eggs now.

A few cormorants, Pigeon guillemots (U. columba)and ducks come into the harbor every day also several species of the Alcidae which are not yet identified. The gulls which are numerous at the point beyond Dutch Harbor made a great outcry [[strikethrough]] yes [[/strikethrough]] while I was in the vicinity of the bluffs and will probably soon have eggs.

Did nothing-stormy

May 21
 Went out in the evening around into Captain's Harbor.  Saw Black Guillemots cormorants, Scoter Ducks
one M. insignis. 
Plenty of Larus glaucescens old & young-
Left the boat on the corner of Amaknak Is and followed the shore around to Capits Bay-Saw but little of interest on my way around
except the fine scenery of which there is an abundance on every hand.  Passed through a natural gateway or arch which is cut through a projecting bluff on shore-
It is about 12 ft high and wide enough for a carraige to pass through

♂♀☿ carraige- sic.
