Cogs well 1948 Journal Dec.30 (p.3) Baywood Park, S.E. side of Morro Bay, San Luis Obispo Co., Calif. - Hunters here were bringing in several ducks apiece from boat-shooting in the bay. I saw [illegible] the following in about 5 men's bags: 3 black brant | 3 lesser scaup none 1 baldpate | 1-4 bufflehead seen 1 green-winged teal | 4- surf scoter shore 1 shoveller | 10+ - mudday duck all day There were thousands of coots all across the S. end of the bay, but the hunters paid less attention to them than they did to the hunters. Many ruddies were scattered thru the flocks of coots. From the shore just N. of the "town" I scanned the bay, then worked around the E. side to the State Park. Estimates of total waterfowl population will be entered below - - Morro Bay, San Luis Obispo Co., Calif. [from N.of Baywood Park around E. end to State Park boat landing & then to N. side of bay mouth]. This afternoon we covered this area for a Christmas Bird Count, but I took no notes while doing it, since there were so many birds I was too busy. The number of hunters in the S. end of the bay resulted in most of the ducks being buddled in masses around in the Salicornia marshes
