54 September 3, 1911. Carmel to Pebble Beach, Cal. The only birds, aside from James hyemalis and Cyanocitta cristata, identified positively were several Larus occidentalis on the beach and water at Pebble Beach. September 4, 1911. Carmel, California. This morning I walked down the shore to the river and back. There were quite a few finches along the beach, evidently feeding among debris cast up by the sea. There were the usual cormorants on the rocks offshore, and in the water two or three seoters and cormorants were seen. Larus occidentalis. Several. Leermannii. One. Arenaria melanoccephala. Two near Point Lob. They were evidently young. Their sexual organs were very small, and those of the female looked like those of a young bird. Aegialitis rivosa. A few on beach. Aegialeus sempalmatus. Two or three. Heteropgygia fairdi. One Calidris arenaria. One or two. September 6, 1911. Carmel to Arbolado, Calif. Passed through the Monterey Pine and Cypress region To desolate treeless region to south then into Redwoods of the Sur country.
