a few Sturnella magna. On a walk over the water I saw one specimen of Anthus pendulinus. Indian Leandro Bay birds were not plentiful. There were a few grebes, one or two large gulls, and a good many ducks — Charitonetta albeola, Aythya marild(?) scoters. Outside Bay Farms Island Bridge, ducks were abundant,-Charitonetta albeola, common; Oidemia deglandi, abundant; Oidemia perspicillata, a few; a few?! good many ducks I did not recognize. Columbus auritus and Columbus nigricollis were not very common. Loons: One or two seen on the water, a few in flight. On my way home while between the R.R. and Island Bridge, a dozen loons passed in high up in the air, many were male immories; they were accompanied by 3 or 4 large gulls, all were sprinkled about, not flying compactly. 2 or 3 minutes later the loons returned. One cormorant seen. A few Larus philadelphia. Large gulls about 20. They came singly, as a rule flying high. There was a perfect army of hunters
