Marshall, 1941 General Comment 2.5 mi. S Cannon Beach, 50ft., Clatsop Co., Oregon. (I also shot one on a brush at the edge of a road near the beach - also out of its habitat + apparently migrating - but I couldn't retrieve it.) - also one Pied-winged blackbird which was moving South & stopped for a while on the top of a spruce, near the beach. There is no habitat here for either of those species. All other specimens taken had either large gonads or were feeding young - but the jays - whose gonads were rather small & were not even paired - Ward & I each took "pairs" which turned out to be both males. A list of the birds of the area & their habitats follows: Phalacrocorax - probably auritus sitting on rocks off the shore - about 25. Oidemia deglandi 20 in surf Larus occidentalis nesting on drifts of beach, 100 along beach, ^ Larus glaucescens 2 or 3 imm. Columba fasciata Many - throughout the forest Bubo virginianus 1 in forest - dark color Chaetura vauxi 6 came down to cedar tree) over camp in evenings ^
