Phalacrocorax pelagicus Pallas. Pelagic Cormorant. 
Noted singly or in pairs at Hawkins, Montague, Green, 
Latouche, Knight, Chenega, Naked, Dise, and Storey islands, 
mouth of Port Nell Juan, Ellamar and Valdez Narrows. Of 
three skins (nos. 1106-1108) taken by Heller at Valdez Narrows 
September 13 and 18, one is a brown-plumaged immature, and 
the other two are probably also birds-of-the-year though not so

tips dulling the blackness. 
Mergus americanus Cassin. American Merganser.
