Los Banos, Merced Co., California. We worked in practically the same locality as we did the day before yesterday. Birds were about the same. I took two Snow Regiabitis minosa and one high-plumaged Steganopus tricolor. Beck took a Bubo virginianus. All of the birds I skinned had large sexual organs, while an Oxyechus vociferus and a Recurvirostra americana each had an egg about to be laid. In running over the mud and in the water the Recurvirostra americana hold the head and neck low down in sort of a stooping attitude. A drake Anas boschas had two or three feathers of the eclipse plumage appearing in each flank. 3802 Regiabitis minosa ♀ Merced Co., Calif., May 7, 1909. 3803 ♂
