E.C. Oldrich 1937 shelter on the shore. In walking several hundred yards we found only 2 Murres, one gull (sp.? ) and 3 unidentifiable. From there we returned to Stinson beach and combed about 3/4ths of the same spit that crossed the bay. Here we found Western Grebes to be the most abundant among the deal as compared to Murres being most abundant elsewhere. I think this can be explained in that grebes like a bay as Bolinas and are frequently seen swimming to and fro from the Bay to the ocean. It is interesting to note how different kinds of birds react to being in the process of being thrown up on the beach. Western Grebes and Scoters when in the pounding surf will attempt to dive through the breakers when they come, even if they are nearly exhausted and very weak. Murres however normally don't spend their time in or near the above surf as the above two birds do.
