Puffinus griseus. Later one or two were seen
alone on Carmel Bay. Their flight resembles
that of Puffinus obscurus; they kept close to
the water.
Larus heermanni. Several, some immature, one or two adult.
Phalacrocorax penicillatus. One on the edge
of the flock of shearwaters and a few on the
rocks at islets in the north end of the
bay.
The flock of Puffinus griseus was in the
bay Monterey Bay, close to the town of that
name, in the morning before coming into
Carmel Bay. They were said to be after sardines. After leaving Carmel Bay they returned again to Monterey Bay.

of a dozen passed us.

at beach in front of town.
