Jan.30 Bolinas Bay Marin Co., Calif.- 5 counted
in driving from Stinson Beach N. along the
east shore of bay, all of them were
perched on the telephone cable line which
runs along over the water near the shore.
one of them was seen with a fish, apparently
as long as its bill, which it dropped in
attempting to swallow it. The bird then
dove into the water a few feet from
where the fish hit — but came up
with nothing.
