scurvy stalked the ship. The log for that day reports, "By the will of God Stephen Buldirev, naval cooper, died of scurvy". Later that day, "high land" was sighted in the rainy weather. Scholars believe that this was Buldir Island. The log recounts that Bering named it "St. Stephen Island", but at least as early as 1787, it appeared on Russian maps as Buldir (Булдырь). It may be that the cooper is commemorated in the island's name.

Kidder's wrecked plane was subsequently used for target practice by other American aircraft. In August 1994, the Aerospace Heritage Foundation of Utah, with assistance from the U.S. Air Force, recovered the wrecked P-38 from Buldir. It was restored, and is now on display at the

dangerous voyage across the open sea to reach Buldir is unclear. Archeologists speculate that resource scarcity or other turmoil in the larger island groups may have forced people to Buldir as a matter of survival. Another theory is that it was a neutral ground between the two larger island groups that allowed the two peoples to mingle.

The recovery program for the subspecies involved capturing goslings on Buldir Island for a captive breeding program. The birds produced by this program were reintroduced to Aleutian Islands that had been cleared of foxes by teams of trappers and hunters working for the National Wildlife Refuge. The

After a four-hour search, he spotted Buldir as he was running low on fuel and executed a wheels-up forced landing. Kidder was able to walk away from the crash with only minor

Dating evidence suggests that human occupation of Buldir Island was not continuous. Further, it occupation apparently was sometimes by people coming from the Near Islands, sometimes by people coming from the Rat Islands, and during some periods, by both peoples.

on July 20. Crewmen went ashore to replenish the ship's fresh-water supply. The next day, Bering began the return voyage. His hope was to arrive in Kamchatka before scurvy and winter storms proved fatal. Contrary winds and currents made for slow going along the Aleutian chain. By October 28, 1741,

Archeologists visited Buldir in 1991, 1993, 1997, and 2001. Their research showed that prehistoric peoples lived on Buldir periodically beginning over 1000 years ago. The water-soaked clay on the island has preserved wooden and other organic artifacts unusually well, allowing scientists to carbon

This subspecies was thought to be extinct by the early part of the 20th century. The last confirmed sighting was in 1938. The birds had suffered complete breeding failure due to predation by introduced rats and foxes, which ate both eggs and goslings. In 1962, a remnant population of perhaps 300

A large house framed with whalebone was found by archeologists, dating from the mid-17th century. Some of the whales were large, suggesting they had been harvested locally by people living on Buldir. Both the size of this construction and others, and the many artifacts recovered from archeological

In consequence, the ground-nesting birds of Buldir continued their lives undisturbed by mammalian predators, while on other Aleutian Islands entire species were extirpated. 188:

On March 3, 1944, Corporal Carl E. Houston walked away from the weather station and did not return. Search efforts at the time were unable to locate him. His fate remained unknown for decades. In 1988, wildlife biologists on Buldir found a skeleton still wearing Army boots with an

A comprehensive survey in 1975 revealed a total of 77 species on the island. As of 2019, at least 116 bird species have been reported. Due to its proximity to Asia, over 35 species of birds have been recorded on Buldir Island, which are rare in North America.
