Monterey Bay, Calif. Bief Ansey, Journal Oct. 23, 1966 October 23, 1966. Monterey harbor on board the Tage at approximately 9 a.m. Beautiful warm day While here we've been watching such things as Brown Pelicans and Heermanns Gulls which are quite abundant, especially At the mooring we've actually seen Brandts Cormorants that are diving in the shallow marine area here. Elegant Terns are quite abundant also, as well as Western Gulls, some California Gulls, and Ring-billed Gulls that we saw on the beach side. On our way at 9:45, moving out of Monterey harbor. Hardly any swell, no chop at all, and we've been watching lots and lots of Heermanns Gulls, immatuers and adults. There were alot of sea lions in the breakwater as we left the harbor. We've seen a few cormorants, mostly Brandts from what I can tell. I can't see any orange patch that the double-crest would have. We can see fairly clearly that most of these are Brandts Cormorants. We're moving sort of SW out of the harbor. We saw a Heermanns Gull right in the harbor itself before we left the breakwater. It had white wing patches near the carpas-uhna flexure that made it look sort of like a scua. Ring-billed Gull just flew over. We're now moving by a big raft of 150-300 birds, gulls of all ages, first-year, second-year, and third-year. They
