GULLION 950 Fulica americana 484 June 7 Middle Chain Lake, Golden Gate Park, SF Co., Calif.- area. There must be at least 5 young Grebes, and I would say 6-8 broods of Mallards, from one that looks as if it hatched this morning to other that are quite well feathered. There is a large turtle in the lake, it must be a Snapping Turtle cause Sunch Wind Turtles never get that big. Its head is fully as large as my fist, and its casapace is about [illegible] 18 inches broad and at least 2 feet long. The shell didn't begin to cover the body. -South Chain Lake, Golden Gate Pk, SF B. Calif. No Coots, perhaps too small, some suitable habitat. -Laguna de la Merced, San Francisco Co., Calif.- Despite its large size and an abundant supply of reeds, and some cat-tails around the shore, there are very few, or appears to be very few, on this lake. Two were seen along the S arm. 11:35 a.m. Also saw one on a pool in Fleischhacker's [illegible] -Laguna Salada, San Mateo Co., Calif.- Quite a number of Coots were seen on this pond but a very severe headache on my part, and general illness, prevented further investigation. Had to call the whole trip off about 1:30 p.m. and return home. Worth a check back.
