History of Govorushka Lake

According to Elliott (1881, p. 173), Goverooskie is Russian for thegulls, "Larus brevirostris, and L. tridactylus." Putnam (1903, p. 1014), lists "Gavarushka" as Russian for the red-legged gull (the lake is) so called from the large number of gulls frequenting it. Putnam (p. 1015) lists the Aleut name as "Korium-anyi," also referring to the gulls.
