64 September 12, 1911. Point Sur to Cooper's Point, Monterey Co., California. Started about 8:30 A.M. and returned about 5:30 P.M. Went down the beach to within about half a mile of the San River, where I cut across country so as to ford the river above the lagoon. Coming back I followed the beaches all the way, crossing the river at its mouth. Coming down the road to the sand flat, I noted the usual bunch of cormorants on a rock on the west side of the point. One or two Zonotrichia leucophrys were seen in the lupine and some were heard singing. At the base of the point I saw one Larus occidentalis flying. Proceeding south along the beach I noted occasional Larus occidentalis on outlying rocks and flying. One Ardea herodias was standing in floating help well offshore. I noted a small finch flying along the water's edge. As I was going along the beach I scared up three Oedemina perspicillata, which flew out a short ways; they were not in high feather. One or two cormorants swimming in help and flying. A little further down the beach towards False Sur I saw three Oedemina perspicillata in the water close to shore; also two or three Larus occidentalis flying. Along the edge of the cliff two hawks flying, one a Cerchneis sparveria. In a little brushy canyon a few yards from the beach I saw some finches; a Zonotrichia leucophrys recognized. Just north of False Sur I saw four Pelecanus californicus flying northward low-down just outside the surf. Quite a few cormorants on high offshore rocks. Two or three Larus occidentalis flying. No shore birds thus far, to False Sur. In passing around the rocky ocean side of False Sur I noted a Sayornis nigricans in a little cove in the cliffs; offshore Larus occidentalis and cormorants. All the higher rocks have cor- morants on them and I shall mention them no farther. Most of these rocks are white or topowing to guano. Another Sayornis nigricans a little farther on. No rock shore birds or other shore birds either. Tide flooding. Low late in afternoon. Down the beach from the False Sur I came across a dozen or more Oryzichus vociferus well back on the beach among the driftwood; they are becoming very wary now and usually fly before I get within range. Offshore I saw one Oedemina perspicillata, cormorants and Larus occidentalis (both adult and immature).
