road and on the fences Euphagus cyanoccephalus was abundant. I saw one Passer domesticus on the [illegible] at Moss. On the way back from Moss to Castroville Euphagus cyanoccephalus was abundant; the yellow eye of the male was in marked contrast to the dark eye of the female. A few Carpodacus mexicanus were noted on telephone wires, and off over a field I saw a Certhiais sparveria hovering for a minute over one spot, although beating its wings continually. The following notes were made at Moss Beach: Loon or grebe. One in mouth of Salinas River along with a lot of old scoters. There were also a few scoters on the water off the beach. Shearwaters. From 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. there was a continual northward movement just visible from the shore. It was heaviest in the forenoon. At one time a dark swarm of birds could be seen off in the direction of capitola. Evi- dently there were fish there and the birds were congregating Larus hermanni. A few along the beach. Wild. Sterna antillarum. This beautiful little tern was common on the beach in the afternoon. They were quite easy of approach. Usually half a dozen or more would be together. The young were all able to fly, but the adults were feeding them. An adult would come by calling plaintively and holding a small fish cross-wise in its bill. It would settle near its young ones, which would walk up to meet it, taking the fish very eagerly. Then the old dird would fly away again, apparently for more. None were seen on the bar at the mouth of the Salinas; all were on the beach to the south.
