September 10, 1911. Point Sur to Molora's range on Sur River, Monterey Co., Cal. We went down by the beach nearly the Sur River, then we cut across a point of land and went up the north bank of the river. It was clear all day to-day. We started about nine o'clock. Near the point after getting down on the sand, I noted a cormorant in the water and a hummingbird flying over the sand. A little ways down in front of some sand hills we ran across half a dozen Oxyechus vociferus. A shot at them brought up seven Cathartes aura from a nearby gully. With other birds already in the air, there were eleven of these big black fellows sailing about at one tone. Just off the False Sur a flock of two dozen Pelecanus californicus came by flying north; they were nearly all abreast. Nine cormorants were seen flying northward close to the water. Two Larus occidentalis also circling. We went around behind the False Sur on account of the high tide. There down a few small birds and one Cerchneis sparrowia. There were lots of cormorants on the rock on the south side of the False Sur. We scared up an Ardea herodias from the same spot as yesterday afternoon. There were one or two immature Larus occidentalis flying. Still farther down the beach we ran on to several gulls on a point; they proved quite wary and flew before we got within gunshot range. A little beyond we met several Eligulitis missa. In crossing over a brushy point from the beach to the Sur River, I saw one good-sized hawk and quite a number of Euphagus cyanocephalus in the tupine and other brush. Going up the north side of the Sur, which is the same in character as the little Sur, we came across several Oxyechus vociferus on the grass.
