Their dirty grey instead of black down, + their pinkish gular pouch with small white patch between the mandibles readily distinguished these birds from the tree nesting double-crested. All Baird's nests were on the rock ledges on the west side of the islets, exposed to the full glare of the sun. The downies panted rapidly with their throats + uttered a peculiar squawking whistle Peter Thornton reports large colonies on Valdez + Stuart Islands.
