September 13, 1911. Point Sur to Little Sur River, california. Drent over to the river by the old stage road and returned the same way, making a detour up the coast above the sand flat. Time: P.M. NW wind; clear. This morning I saw two or three Carpodacus mexicanus near the work room. Going down the road on the point I saw the usual Zonotrichia leucophrys. On the northeast part of the sand flat at the edge of the lupine I came across three Dryocopus vociferus. They were not quite as wild as those to the south. Drent over the old stage road to the beach of the little Sur. Saw quite a few small finches in the brush both going and coming - Zonotrichia leucophrys recognized. Two or three hawks were seen, one a Certhiais sparveria, the another a hawk about the size of Circus hudsonius with a white rump band. A cormorant was resting on the south end of the beach, but flew upon approach. I saw an adult Larus occidentalis flying. Back on the broad beach amongst the driftwood were lots of Aequalitis nivosa scattered about; there must have been 25 or 30. They were run- ing about and in one case I saw one pursuing another. They made no notes that I could hear. They seem to prefer the dry beaches beyond the reach of the ordinary tides. Near the rock at the mouth of the lagoon I came across a Tringoides macularius. On the little stretch of rock-strewn coast just north of the sand flat I en- countered another Tringoides macularius which was very wild and kept continually ahead of me. This seems to be quite a rock-loving species too. Ten or a dozen Arenaria melanoccephala were encountered, three of which I obtained. They were not particularly wild, but finally took to some outlying rocks. Of the nineteen Aequalitis nivosa taken, only two were males. Moulting September 14, 1911. Point Sur, California. About 4 o'clock this afternoon I went up the beach and a long the accessible part of the rock-strewn coast where yesterday I saw the Arenari
