96. September 7, 1907. On the way to barmel, Monterey County, Cal. this afternoon, I noted a Falco sparverius wrie beside the county road near Millbrae, San Mateo Co., Cal. Near San Mateo I saw three- naidura macroura flying, and later saw two or three flying near Pajaro, San Benito Co. One or two Andean heronides by the Pajaro River near tidewater. September 8, 1907. barmel, Monterey Co., Cal. Conditions:- Moderate temperature; (W) wind; over- cast all day. Grebe. I saw in a cove on the north side of the bay while out in a launch in the morning. It was either an Aechmophorus occidentalis or a Colymbus holboelli; I am inclined to think the latter. Gulls. I noticed a number of birds on the kelp, apparently of this species order. Several adult and immature Larus occidentalis were seen, one of the former being observed sitting on top of rock a short distance offshore. Other unidentified young gull Ouffinus griseus. A little before 10 A.M. they began coming southward in an immense black stream, passing quite close to Pescadero Point.
