Rallus limicola Coquill? 1947 Aug. 8-19 Big Lagoon, Humboldt Co., Calif. Two To 10 or more heard in tule and sedge marsh areas at S.E. end of lagoon on each visit there. One? (sounded like a young bird) was also heard frequently from wet undergrowth while others along a tiny stream near our camp. On Aug. 12th I saw an immature along Pitler Creek ½ mile from the lagoon; it ran up from the stream, this at this point is without vegetation, and into the Smilacina & other herbs on forest floor. Then it reappeared briefly about 20 yards away, then ducked back into the forest when I raised my gun. Aug. 17 One was flushed from the thin Canex & Saripes fronting on the gravel beach at the mouth of a small stream emptying into the lagoon about ½ mi. n. of the n. end of the Highway bridge. It flew cross the stream into denser marsh vegetation which fills the small valley between beach and highway.
