Carmel and Vicinity, Monterey Co., Calif.
March 7, 1942
(10:30-2:00 PM) Left home of Dr. Mrs. S.O. Williams to look for Alcids about 10:30 AM went to the beach at Carmel and stopped at various points along the seventeen mile drive.
At Seal Rocks we saw harbor seals and both species of Sealion (Eumetopias & Zalophus) and also watched the antics of a colony of Brandt's Cormorants (the same one S.O. Williams studies)
We then drove along the waterfront of Pacific Grove as far as the Hoppleius Marine Station where we met the director (Dr Fisher.) The weather was warm and clear, a south wind blowing at the coast and a North East wind at Pacific Grove!
Monarch butterflies were flying around almost everywhere.
The birds seen were:
Pacific Loon 2
Black Oystercatcher 2
Holtbeels Gull 1
Black Terns four 2
Horned Gull 1
