Sitka Crested Auklet


Webster said: Probably a rare straggler. Schlegel (1862) listed the species from Sitka, but Willett (1914) regarded the record as very doubtful in its geographic authenticity. I agree. However, I saw one on Sitka Bay 20 July 1939. Without a specimen of undoubted accuracy, my record should be regarded with suspicion.
