Point Sur, California. Overcast; warm; very little wind. This morning I went up the beach into the bright to the northward. Saw just three shore birds: One Egialitis nivosa, one immature Egialitis semipalmatus, and a wounded Oryxechus vociferus. Saw a Sayornis nigricans on rocky part and also one about houses on point itself.

Point Sur, California. Overcast; very little wind. I went up the beach into the rocky light to the northward between 11 and 12 this morning. I saw just one shore dird - an Arenaria melanocephala flying to an outlying rock. The usual cosmorants were seen on the rocks and also one Larus occidentalis, alas a distant soaring hawk or vulture. There was a straggling movement of shearwaters northward past Point Sur, the birds passing close by the western extremity of the point.
