46 I noticed several Junco hyemalis about the house to-day. This afternoon I walked down the beach to the Carmel River. Two or three Aegialitis nivosae were seen, two of which were taken. On the rocks I saw one or two Heteractitis incanus and one adult Larus Tringoides macularius occidentalis. A pair of Anasana melanoccephala were flying about out of range. I saw several Larus heermanni on beach and several more on the fresh water of the lagoon. A flock of nine Pelecanus californicus were circling about came in from the sea and circled about close to the beach, one diving occasionally. In the meadows just north of the lagoon of the Carmel River I saw about a dozen Oryzochus vociferus. An Ardea herodias and a small grebe were seen in the lagoon just in the shelter of the sand dunes. August 25, 1911. Carmel to Seaside, Calif. and return. We left the house this morning at 6:30. Everything was perfectly still and a rather dense fog cloaked the higher portions of the hills. Junco hyemalis was more or less common, and when on the Monterey side of the hill a large flock of Euphagus cyanocephalus left their feeding place in a nearby field and arose noisily. Both Aphelocoma californica and Cyanocitta stelleri were seen together in the pine trees. Close to Monterey several Zenaidura carolinensis
