pociferus on the eastern edge of the big sand flat separating Point Sur and the adjacent coast mountains. I counted sixteen Phalacrocorax pelagicus roosting on little shelves and ledges on the cliff on the southeast side of the Point. Going up the road on the Point I saw one Zonotrichia leucophrys. The flight of shearwaters northward was still in progress. September 9, 1911. Point Sur, Monterey Co., California. This morning I noted two or three Larus mexicanus outside my work room window. I saw a male and female together. About three o'clock this afternoon I took a walk down the beach about a mile with Mr. Astrom. The following is what I saw and obtained. Larus occidentalis. Several. Offshore I saw a large flock of birds circling, which may have been either gulls or shearwaters. Arenaria interpres. One on sand beach. Arenaria melanocephala. Quite a few along on rocks, but usually inaccessible. Oxyechus vociferus. A dozen or so together. Osobia maculata. One on beach, near next mass of seaweed. Ardea herodias. Scared up two. Cormorants. On rocks offshore. Phalacrocorax pelagicus. 36 roosting on cliff this evening. I was a little later tonight than usual, which probably accounts for larger numbers. Bathartes aura. One flying. Took two which were feeding on some very ancient remains of a cow or calf. We were able to approach them very close under cover, without them being aware. We were standing on remains and pulling upward when eating.
