June 25, 1911.
S. E. Farallon D., Calif. Warm; more or less foggy; little wind.
I spent the day on the east end near the wireless
and fog signal stations.
Barpodacus melicanus. Ten or a dozen in cypress
trees near fog station. Saw only one red-headed male.
Shot one young-of-the-year.
Salpinctes obsoletus. Common. Many young-of-
the-year. Adults singing.
Cairus occidentalis. Quite a number along shore
and flying. Saw two brown-plumaged immature birds.
Lunda currata. A few flying.
Uria troile. A few flying. I have noticed large
bands of this species and the next on the water
offshore every day.
Pseuduridia columba. Quite a number flying and
sitting about the shores and on the rocks high up
on the hillside where the tower is located. Found
a bird on nest with one egg in rock pile in level
ground near fog station... There may have been
a young bird also that we did not see for later,
the mate of the nest bird flew about for an
hour or so with a small fish in its bill. The
nest bird also left and flew with it part of the
time. They both appeared very solicitous and
anxious to get back to the nest while we were
working in the vicinity for petrels. The nest bird sat
very close and did not attempt to escape. Nest more
after style of anklelets in location than like pigeon guilberts,'
