As a rule an Eskimo must be rather hungry before he kills an old-squaw for food, but it is fairly common along the whole coast. Of the gulls, the Eskimos eat every kind. The glaucous gulls are caught in a particular kind of snare along cracks in the ice, and in the open pools about icebergs. The old gulls are rather tough, but the young birds, while in their pale-brown barred plumage, are as tender and sweet as a spring-chicken. The ivory gulls and the kittiwakes are often killed and eaten, too.... The kittiwakes are very good, FOOD-BIRDS OF THE SMITH SOUND ESKIMOS 5 much like fat young squabs, and always rolling in golden fat. The fulmars are eaten in great numbers in early spring, even though they are most unpalatable, for they are the first birds to return in large numbers. The guillemots, too, are used a great deal for food. The sandpipers, snipes, and other shore birds are not often eaten because they are so rare or so hard to get. Ra- vens are rather frequently eaten, and the Eskimos profess to like them.
