JESimpson, 1938. 72. Bahia Kino, Sonora May 6, 1938. Broke our "doorstep camp" at 4 am and went down to the beach prepared to embark for Tiburon Island; however, the fishemen decided the water was too rough for a crossing and went back to bed with the prophesy that the afternoon would be quieter. Señor Comou took us fishing on our "free morn- ing" off I. Pelicano. I caught one 90+ and two 70+ lb. sea-bass! We saw many waterbirds -- 4000+ cormorants streaming across the water in irregular formation to circle around and around a feeding-spot (with many on water and the rest wheeling), hundreds of Heerman gulls, dozens of pelicans, a few petrels and duck-hawks, and a frigate bird. The I. Pelicano is a barren rock- hill with some sand-dunes at base; it is much lightened in color from the multitudinous droppings of the birds. We came ashore early and found that the fisherman who was to take us to Tiburon Island decided that the fishing was too good to leave (truly they did begin to run after we had come). Some difficulty experienced in getting back our first payment on passage as the fisherman stayed out late; so it was necessary to stay in the village for the night. We slept at Señor Comou's front-porch as last night.
