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.
