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
