52. August 31, 1911. Barmel, Cal. to about 20 miles down the coast and return. The road travels close to the coast all the way south of Point Lobos, occasionally making a detour into some deep gully which is usually spanned with a bridge. In one place only did the road descend to sea level. There I hunted along the rocks, seeing one Heteractitis incanus, one Haematopus miger with a flock of a dozen or twenty Arenaria melan- ocephala. Saw one flock of about half a dozen Arenaria melanocephala. Most of the birds keep on the outer rocks where it is impossible to get them owing to channels in between. Got one Tringoides macularius which was feeding in a freshwater stream. Shot a Phalaropus hyperboreus which was flying over a ploughed field near the ocean. In the pines and cypresses, the usual land birds were seen: Junco hyemalis, Aphelocoma californica, Colaptes cafer. A good many birds of prey were seen all along. Two or three Aquila chrysaetos were recognized without a doubt. And undoubtedly some of the large dark birds seen were Cathartes aura. Three Zenaidura carolinensis were seen in a field about fifteen miles down the coast. A number of Lophotyx californicus were seen in the brush near Ocean Home; one was perched on top of bush, remember on ground. September 1, 1911. Barmel, California.
