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.
